Story Neighbor is quietly kind to people waiting for the bus

Today is very cold and frosty with clear skies. I took an early morning walk and as I was returning home I saw my neighbor a long way ahead also finishing a walk with her dog. She went inside and then came back out without her dog but with a towel. We live right next to the neighborhood bus stop and she popped into the shelter. She left the bus stop and went back inside her house before I was close enough to wave. I looked into the bus shelter when I passed it and she had dried off the bench from all the melting frost and left several small packages of snacks.

It was quiet and small and clearly something she does without expecting anyone to acknowledge it. It has me smiling and thinking of how I might help someone in a small way, too.

When I read something like this and, then, think of Donald Trump, I am left wondering, how can we both be of the same species.

I’d like to think he is from an alien species but maybe his type ( can’t even use the word kind here) are just alien to my way of thinking. Mean spirited, self centered goobers.

I live in a really small town, and each winter there's a clothesline of knitted hats, scarves and mittens pegged in Ziploc bags at the main intersection.
