i believe...

that things happen for a reason..
This morning, i woke up earlier than usual.. i got ready for work, and then decided i would leave early as well.. While walking to work, a sweet elderly lady was out on her front steps with a shovel, but was certainly not dressed appropriately for winter weather.. And she was attempting to shovel her steps, but barely doing so because she was cold and doing something like that was obviously challenging for her..

i worried that she was out in the cold in her nightie though, and so i walked up her walkway, and asked if she would like some help.. And then told her if she'd like to go inside and get warm i would finish her steps and walkway for her and bring her shovel in when i was done.. She smiled and was going back in when someone came out to get her (thankful someone WAS there..) the poor dear.. Because i was contemplating what i should do, since i could tell she wasnt thinking clearly by being out there in her nightie..

Anyway, having left early this morning, i was able to scoot a darling woman back inside, and i indeed shovelled her walkway and steps off for her (them) and then brought the shovel inside the hallway. The lady who came to get her, came out and thanked me and thanked me again, and said some very sweet words.

And i walked to work, with a smile on my face.. i'm SO glad she's okay..♥
