Appreciation

Nowadays we take many things for granted and it is always nice when a person undertakes a nice gesture or acknowledges such an action.

Yesterday a traffic policeman was controlling the traffic in the driving rain and wind, ensuring that the traffic proceeded smoothly without any accidents. One might say that it is his job to do so and some might also add that his actions could have caused more traffic but from what I could see this was not case and not too many would be well pleased to get drenched in the course of their work. Another episode that springs to mind only just happened this morning when a car stalled in the middle of regional road and from all the cars that passed by, it was a taxi from a private company that promptly stopped, quickly got out a rope so as to tow and help out the unfortunate driver.

Bottom line is that even small gestures of help or words such as 'thank you' and 'sorry' with a smile are enough to brighten up ones day!
