365 Reasons to Smile – Day 29

broomI was riding my bike yesterday morning when I saw a tall man ahead of me on the road holding something out in front of him.  At first, I thought he was walking a dog, but I couldn’t see one. As I got closer, I became more and more puzzled.

Then I realized he was carrying a broom. He was walking along a country road carrying a broom.

Just as I reached him, he stopped and began sweeping the road.

He motioned for me to be careful as I rode through broken glass, and I turned around to thank him.

He yelled something back that seemed to be an explanation of what had happened and a comment that it happens a lot, but I couldn’t really understand him.

But I was smiling at his efforts to make the world a safer place for everyone else.

People who do that always make me smile.
