When I awoke on Monday morning, I knew I would have to throw salt on my front sidewalk. A huge blizzard on Sunday dropped six inches of snow on the ground. Thus, I needed to make sure my guests on Monday afternoon wouldn’t fall on a slippery sidewalk. However, I have trouble with my balance and so I did not look forward to the task at hand.
Nevertheless, I grabbed the salt from my closet and bundled up in my warm jacket. I opened my front door and stepped gingerly onto the sidewalk. I took baby steps and moved forward slowly fearing each step I took. At the same time I kept wishing that someone might come along and offer to help. But there was no one in sight. Still… you know what they say, “Be careful what you wish for.”
Within a couple of minutes a truck pulled up to my curb and a nice looking, young man hopped out and asked if he could help me. I couldn’t believe my eyes and a huge smile spread over my face. I said to him, “Thank you sooooo much. And when you are finished, please knock on my door. I have some homemade chocolate cookies for you.” I greatly appreciated this young man’s kindness and I hope he enjoyed my treat.
