Good morning for helpers

I love reading Random Acts of Kindness. It is reassuring to know that there are so many kind souls still in existence; it is easy to forget.

I drive past Balmoral Hall every day on my way to work. A few weeks ago, a student became stuck in the snow and was blocking traffic, both ways. Almost immediately, people were jumping from their cars and offering to help, myself included. As I approached the car, the student lowered her window, so I said "Good morning." The three people already positioned at the back bumper looked up and said, "Good morning" right back to me.

We pushed her out, and we all ran back to our cars without saying another word.

I love living here.
