Thank you.

I know I said I was to busy to post until after Christmas, and so far this makes the second since that comment, but this is important. I promise.
Today I was on my way to pick up Xander. He was with Tony at the job site where they are currently working. Well, the car ran out of gas. Not the most brilliant of moments for me, but I've moved on.
I was not far from a gas station. So, I walked there and obtained a gas can and some gas....of course. A gentleman asked me if I needed a ride and I declined. Not because he seemed creepy, but because I read the news.
On my walk back to the car, and let me remind you it was bitter cold, a young woman about my age pulls up and offers me a ride. I gladly accepted even though I was not far from the car. We chatted briefly about strangers and she and I agreed that being approached by a woman when in a situation like I was in is far less threatening than being approached by a man.
After a two minute drive she drops me at my car. I said thank you and she said your welcome.
As I stood pouring the gas into my car a white truck pulled up behind me. An older gentleman was in his work truck and he did not get out of the vehicle, but motioned to see if I was in need of assistance. I motioned no, but he stayed there at the side of the road, in his truck, until I pulled away. He was making sure I wasn't hit buy a car.Considering I was smack dab in the middle of an exit I would say that was a very nice thing to do.
I am writing this because today was one of few where my hope for humanity glows a little brighter. Quite frankly, most of the time I am ashamed to be a human being. Today gave me a rare glimpse into the genuinely kind hearts fo people that do exsist. Their gestures were simple, but greatly appreciated.
