Miracles can happen?

[Anita Fixx]

This is just to record something that happened to me a few weeks ago. I never thought someone could be so nice to me...just like that. I have this gawd awful shift that ends at 3 in the f****** morning. So I have to stand outside waiting for a night bus (because Toronto can't have good public transit running 24/7 oh hell no...) And this night is paticularly FREEZING f****** cold. I waited and waited for an HOUR and no sign of a bus. My toes were about to fall off from frost bite so I got a cab. Even though I live an hour away so I knew the fare would be 50 dollars which is pretty much my ENTIRE day's wages. I was crying but what choice did I have? I talked a little with the cab driver complaining about my horrible job and luck. Then it was silence on the long drive to my home in the middle of nowhere. When we got there the driver said "Just get out don't worry about paying." I was dumbfounded I was like "Really? But I should pay for some.." but he insisted. I was so surprised I NEVER expected a complete stranger to be that nice to me for no good reason. It was a shock in a city like this where the people are just as cold as the weather. Once inside I turned on the lights and stood in the dining room/kitchen crying. It really did seem like a miracle had happened. I still feel that maybe it means God or someone or something is helping me in some small way. Maybe I will get out of here and I will succeed if I work hard enough. That's my hope anyway..

The kindness of strangers is a wonderful thing. It takes so little to change someone's day. Remember to pass it on :)
