I've been okay. I went for a walk with my puppy over at mom's the other day (she lives in the city where it is SAFE to walk your dog so I take good advantage of that)... twice kids thanked me when I didn't expect it... it was a nice surprise. The first time was when these two kids were playing lacrosse in the street and one of them I guess had a bad toss because the ball was rolling down the street. So, I just picked it up and tossed it back to the kids and they said thanks and I said "No problem". I figured they wouldn't say anything really. The second time was when a kid was riding his bike down the sidewalk (technically you aren't supposed to do that but a lot of kids around here don't feel comfortable riding their bike in the road I guess) and I just moved to the left since he was riding down the right. And when he passed by he told me thank you... which to me was sort off funny because it's just common sense for not getting run over... but I said "you're welcome" anyways.
It makes me happy when little things like that happen. Not just because they are little nice things but also because it validates my feelings about this generation not being a bunch of spoiled whiny brats stuck indoors like the popular consensus seems to be by older generations.
