    Had a nice thing happen today....

    In this time of alot of selfishness and fear I had something nice happen today. We got over a foot of snow....it's really been a mess and more due. My husband and I were out shoveling when out of the blue a nice young man came by with his snow blower and started pitching in. Offered him money and he refused.....said he just felt like helping people out today and as long as the gas held out...he was going to help who he could. Just doesn't happen much around here anymore and it was much appreciated.

    That really makes me smile!

    The snow has been incredible -I don't live far from you.

    Have you seen that movie 'Pay it Forward?' Just reading what happened to you makes me want to pass on a random act of kindness.

    In this day and age, its hard to come by, when neighbors helped neighbors without expecting something in return.

    A nice thing to do, especially with gas prices so outrageous too, makes it even more generous.
