The Day Improves
i just came back from a quick trip to White Hen. after paying for my stuff, i turned toward the door. i was maybe 6ft away, and the woman who had had just walked through held the door open, waiting for me. despite what people may think, i really am polite and thanked her.
then, as i waited to make a right turn from the parking lot onto the main street, clogged with rush hour traffic, right away a guy stopped just short of the driveway let me in front of him. i gave him the wave.
i turned onto a side street. at a stop sign, a family of four, the 2 kids being pulled along in a red wagon, stopped at the intersection at the same time i did. i waved them across and as they walked past, the mom smiled at me and i smiled back. and it felt good.
