Pay it forward

I actually witnessed this today, and it made me smile.

I left for an appointment at around 4, and to say traffic was insane would be an understatement. I was waiting in a line of traffic, and I see this car that needs to make a left into this line of traffic. Poor dude looked so stressed; I have no idea how long he had been waiting.

I left some room for him when the car in front of me pulled up a bit. He and his passenger both smiled and waved in thanks. A little ways up the road, and once we had actually started moving some, he did the same for someone else.

I must admit, sometimes I get fed up with being kind in traffic, especially if the other person doesn’t acknowledge it. Seeing someone do the same for another stranger has restored some small measure of my faith in humanity.
