My Good Deed for the Day

I went to the grocery store the other day to pick up the food I’d need for Thanksgiving Day.

As usual, I parked in the far back corner of the parking lot to avoid most of the crowd. As I walked up towards the store, I came upon an elderly lady unloading a cart full of grocery bags into her car.

“I’m heading that way – why don’t I return that empty cart for you?” I said.

She turned and just looked at me for a moment. Finally, she said “That’s the nicest thing anybody has done for me in a long time.”

I just thought that was so sad.
