random act of kindness

today, on my morning commute in, i made the mistake of not taking an umbrella with me.

at first, it was ok because it was only sprinkling.  and then it rained harder and i got stuck under a tree.  then it stopped and i thought i had a window of opportunity to get to the office.

nope.

i got stuck under another tree.  a lovely man who was watering his flowers (yes, during a shower) told me to go and stand on his porch.  while i was there, he came out and offered me an umbrella.  i smiled as big as i possibly could and thanked him.

that one little umbrella made me so happy.  he was so kind to give me that umbrella.  i returned it this afternoon on my walk home.  and i am going to send him the nicest thank you note ever.
