Merci Beaucoup
Today I was the recipient of an act of kindness by a complete stranger. My computer was having MAJOR issues (wifi card not working, logic board needing to be replaced, and for some odd reason it kept waking itself up from sleep mode). Long story short a stranger fixed all my problems, free of charge. Not sure why this person decided to be so generous, she simply said, “since you have been so friendly I can waive all these charges for you” and that was that. I thought I had misheard her, but today I picked up my machine with all its new hardware with a total amount due of zero. Unbelievable. I will definitely make sure to forward on this kindness to another person in need.
Talking about being grateful, there are many other things for which I want to give thanks to at this time.
- The above forecast is for this week and makes me truly happy. Yes, Little Cottonwood bouldering season, which I have been patiently waiting for, is finally here.
- I am off to San Francisco next week where my good friend, Mark, is allowing me a place to crash for the entire week. I appreciate the hospitality, but I mostly appreciate his continued friendship.
- My British friend, Steve, is coming to visit the States soon. I can’t wait to show him LCC and Joes.
- This summer was a really trying time for me. Looking back it was a good learning experience, but I must admit I am glad that Fall is upon us.
- I have been striving to learn French, studying daily. So far, it seems to actually be working! I am still real slow to form a sentence, but I catch myself remembering the grammar rules and being able to jam through my flashcards. Perhaps one day I will be a fluent speaker.
What about you, dear readers? What in your life currently makes you smile and whisper thanks?
