A few days ago I posted a story, Maybe Tomorrow She’ll Wave!, about a young lady I occasionally cross paths with at the park where I walk the dog each morning and afternoon. I didn’t see her today, but had another interesting and pleasing encounter.

The crew that mows and trims the grass at the park was busy shaping things up when I got to the park this morning, with two guys riding mowers and several others using trimmers and edgers.

As the dog and I got close to one of the riding mowers, I was debating going a different route, but decided the timing would work out, and continued the way we were going. I was shocked when we got closer to the mower, and the operator stopped and shut off the machine. He smiled and waited as I walked past, and I stopped and thanked him for the courtesy.

You should have seen the smile on his face! He made my day by being courteous, and I made his by recognizing his thoughtfulness and thanking him for it.

Awesome!
