Brief moments and gratitude…





I ran some ice cream over to Mom yesterday and noticed my car was out of windshield wiper fluid. When I was returning home, I stopped into AutoZone to buy some as the dealership was closed. A young man helped me pick it out and offered to put it in my car despite the 101-degree heat.  We chatted as he did this, and I asked him how his day was going. He replied, “It’s going well.  I've been dealing with cancer, but I've been given another day. Life is good.”  I gave him quick hug and said thank you.  It’s uncanny how these moments and people come into our lives, however briefly, to remind us to be grateful.
