smiley flowerThank you to the man dressed all in black with the salt-and-pepper hair who cheered up a grumpy Stephen as he was riding his bike home. You encouraged him and played a chase game with him that snapped Stephen out of his funk and had him flying. When we got back, Stephen said, “That man cheered me up! He had a good plan.”

smiley flowerThank you to the woman in the little silver compact car who offered us a ride in the pouring rain while we were walking to school one morning.

smiley flowerThank you to the worker doing some sort of repair work under the sidewalk who took the time to step aside with all your equipment just so I could walk by. I could have easily stepped into the street, but your courtesy made me smile all day. (A half-thank you as well to the construction workers who’ve made some “nice” comments to me on my errand runs.)

smiley flowerThank you to the gentleman who caught me on the bus when you thought I was falling over. I was actually catching my bag!

smiley flowerThank you to the bike shop dude who helped adjust the brakes on Stephen’s bike even though it was an insurance liability. Oops. I mean, I adjusted the brakes with your guidance. ;)

smiley flowerThank you to London for all the green parks and walking/biking paths. Spring is wonderful here!
