A covering of white ...

     Road crews have been out once so far; this was about 5 a.m.  Now ... still snowing lightly, and drifting ... it will take several times out, just to clear the sidewalks.  Then the challenge of scooping around my car, where the city trucks have cleared the center of the street.  I'm certainly glad the winds are minimal (right now) and it's so warm that the sidewalk is wet (not icy) underneath the snow - hence, HEAVY snow!!!
      I've been scooping the walks, clearing from around my car, and the top of my car since about 9 this morning.  I was about half done and a young man and his girlfriend drove by, slowed down, asked if I needed help.  I'm not proud, as I responded, "If you're offering, yes I do!"  He turned his truck around, got out, took the shovel from me and finished it up for me.  We conversed as he shoveled and I swept what I could off the car.  A bit surprised by my calling him my  "angel" today, he told me about being on a path to straighten his life out, and that his parole officer would be proud of him, doing something nice for a stranger.  I offered to pay him but he would not accept it.  I told him to share that action with his parole officer, that he will be proud of him for that too!
     I don't know your name, and you'll probably never happen on this webpage, but I still want to publicly say thank you to him, and his girlfriend (as she patiently waited for him).  He says she is why he's been clean for over two years.  I know he has a younger brother in trouble.  Before he left, I shook his hand, and told him I hoped that he would continue to be a good example for that younger brother, and it will do them all good!  I do know he told his brother, "I turned my life around, you can too!"  YAY, keep up the good work, young man!!  And appreciate that good woman who's helping you!
