365 Days of Gratitude - Day 265

I have a really nice city traffic story!

Today was one of those days I found myself driving north on Hwy 404 during rush hour traffic. I rarely ever drive this highway since we moved north and therefore am oblivious about it's construction.

I slipped off my chosen off-ramp only to discover at the last minute that my turn lane wasn't actually a turn lane, meaning I had to merge back into a jampacked, completely stopped left lane.

I mumbled an 'ah shit,' and figured I'd be stuck there for awhile pissing off all the regulars. Nope. As I glanced over looking for an opening a lovely young gent in a contractor truck nodded to me with a big smile and said, 'you go ahead of me,' and pointed to me moving in front of him.

I gave him a big smile and a thumbs up, squeezed in, and thought to myself, in a time and place where so many people are consumed with getting home, or getting done, it was nice to experience such a random act of kindness.

Thanks Mr. Contractor. 

Feeling grateful,

Louise
