Shoveling Snow

I was shoveling my drive way today and listening to music and just having a good time out in the cold. When I got to the bottom of my drive way, I noticed a woman across the street shoveling her sidewalk. I didn't think much of it until I saw her on my side of the street shoveling ANOTHER sidewalk. She had shoveled almost 10 sidewalks for the neighbors on my street!

When she finished my next door neighbor's sidewalk, she started on my sidewalk. I asked her if she had shoveled all of the other sidewalks and she said she did. As graciously as I could, I told her I would shovel my own sidewalk and thanked her for her kind acts of service. She looked so tired I would have felt bad if she had finished my sidewalk.

What's my point to this? There is so much good in this messed up world and I wanted to pay this forward.

When she started walking away, I finished my sidewalk and looked at my other neighbor's sidewalk. It didn't have nearly as much snow as mine did but I thought I could just quickly shovel it and be done.

Paying little things forward gives you the best feeling! If you ever get the chance to do something nice for someone, DO IT! Sure it make take some of your time but that doesn't matter. Your making someone smile, that's the only thing that should matter.
