I've been very impressed with nice people as of late. It makes my heart fill up to know that their are kind and considerate people everywhere.
Take for instance the cashier at Sam's Market. Brother had fallen down and gotten a sliver in his hand at the park while we were roughin' it in Grace. I didn't have anything to get it out, so we went across the street to Sam's. She directed me toward their straight pins, came back to see if my screaming child was ok, and even brought us pain relieving neosporin and a band aid.
I took Sissy into an oral surgeon on Monday to see if/when she'll need a frenectomy. The Dr., bless his heart, consulted us for about 15 minutes. At the end he told his nurse that there would be no charge. Seriously, I thought all doctors slapped you with a $75 bill, regardless of how long or if at all they even saw you. What a nice guy.
This morning my husband informed me that someone was here. We were all scrambling around since we still in our pj's. In a bit of a panic, I looked out the window to see the garbage truck parked in our drive way. "Shoot! Garbage day and I didn't have it out to the road- and it's full." Rather than just pulling in and turning around, as is customary, he came up to our house and took the garbage out so he could dump it into the truck. What a lifesaver. He must know how much I hate it when I miss pick up and have to suffer with an overflowing garbage for an entire week.
All this nice people talk has got me feeling a bit guilty. I guess I'd better be a little nicer.
Has someone been nice to you lately? Leave me a comment.

I had a student leave me a really yummy chocolate chip cookie the other day because she knew I had had a long day. It tasted pretty darn good! Hey - probably after Halloween I can meet you at Heather's shop. I am pretty swamped until then, and I have games on Mondays & Wednesdays. Just give me a call when you are thinking of coming this way!
I had a paper due Wednesday of this week and, by Monday, I did not even have the book that I needed to read before doing it. (I had ordered it a couple of weeks ago, but it still hadn't come in the mail.) So I was starting to freak out. One of my fellow students had already read the book and let me borrow his. It was a life saver.
Then it turns out I got my book in the mail that same day, so I had two books! :-)
Karisa, good post. Seriously, don't you just love nice people! I work with 2 of the nicest ladies who are so sweet. Last Friday, they bought me some cute socks to wear with my gay boot (my stress fracture). It just made my day!
