Today was one of those days where I needed a cane for support, or at least I felt I would before I got home. I went to the post office, then the grocery store next door. They didn’t have what I wanted so I crossed the street & went to the other grocery store. I left there with a little more than I was expecting to purchase, so I had two bags that I was carrying, one of which had a heavy bottle of pop. I went a near by restaurant to order & take home supper. This gave me another bag to carry with my cane, the other two bags and my purse.

What was I surprised about? There was a lovely young lady who not only opened the first door out, but also the second door out. And she went out of her way specifically to help me. This is a rarity in my neighborhood, even more so that she was black and young. (I’d say Africa-Canadian, but she would have been Jamaican). Either way, I was pleasantly surprised that someone gave me assistance, unprompted.
