There are still some really nice people in this world.

My daughter had to go "Tagging" or fund raising outside of the local Pathmark today. Standing there, this tiny little girl with an angel face, wearing her football uniform and a pigtail, she smiled at each person on the way out the door and asked for change for Pop Warner Football in her sweet voice.

In two hours, she had over $100!!! Almost every person that walked out that door gave something. Some people gave $1, a few gave $2!! Many of them stopped to talk with her. They were encouraging and kind and it was heartwarming. Only two people (one old lady and one old man) bothered to scoff at her for playing football. Made me remember that people are still basically nice, and it's nice to live here! :-)

Thanks for the nice lift in my day, Kritter!

It's good to know that niceness is alive and well, we hear too much about the nastiness!

You doubted this?

Reminds me, though...that little guy who sold me a 5x12 patch of flower-bed this past winter never came back. The money was due on delivery, but I'm thinking he didn't keep track of where I lived.
