Do This More:

I was on the bus yesterday. Feeling a bit surly and there were three irritating chatty-cell-phony 18 year old girls sitting across the aisle. The bus pulled up to a stoplight. It was hot. Hot. An old guy was hunkered on the sidewalk bent over his dog who had collapsed in the heat. The bus driver said something and the three girls--who were apparently on their way to the gym--pulled out their water bottles and got off the bus to help the pup out.
In the end, the dog got some water and was able to stand up again, the old guy seemed pretty thankful and the three girls had done something to be proud of. A tip of the hat, ladies. We could all do this sort of thing a little more often.

  2. Makes you second guess your assumptions or perceptions about people, sometimes...

    And yes, we could all do things like that a littl more often...
