Answer :

answer:I’ll go first. 1. One of my friends and her husband just texted me to tell me that they have adopted an 8 year old dog into their family. They already have one dog and 2 cats. They love animals and have room in their home and hearts for this extra dog that needed a home. So far the other 3 animals seem to be taking very well to their new companion, as do my friend’s 2 kids. 2. One of the neighbors offered to feed the cat, overnight, where I’m pet sitting for 3 weeks, because I had to go out of town for one night. 3. A motorist stopped to let me cross the road when I was walking at the lake today. There’s no sidewalk on the road leading into the grounds for the lake, so I would have had to walk in the bushes and wait for a line of cars to pass, but the first car stopped and waved me to cross. 4. I had a lovely chat with the cashier at the 99 Cent store about a week ago while she was ringing me up, rather than her just ignoring me, or me just ignoring her. 5. In the same line as the above transaction, the woman that was ahead of me, asked me if I’d like to go ahead of her since I only had a few items. I thanked her and said that I wasn’t in a hurry, so I let her stay where she was, and then she and I had a nice chat about a recipe she was going to make with the stuff in her cart. 6. A nice young man at the coffee kiosk offered to make me a special drink after I found out that he had just ran out of coconut syrup for the latte I wanted. We chatted about his day and mine and he was just very nice. 7. I found out about midnight last night that my friend, in another state, who’s cat had gone missing for two days, got a call about an hour earlier from one of her neighbors saying that they had spotted her cat. The neighbor offered, and then helped my friend coax the cat out of its hiding place in someone’s garage and then helped catch the kitty and bring her back home. 8. I talked to my folks on the phone earlier tonight. They told me that they are helping one of our younger neighbors deal with a long distance medical emergency, first by simply being “surrogate” parents for her, and by offering to take care of her dog and cats if she has to go out of town, and by helping her to research alternatives to help her with this emergency. 9. My best friend just treated me to a play in her town. 10. The guy sitting behind us offered to take a picture of me and my friend together at the play after he saw us fumbling with bad selfies. 11. The guy at the ice rink said I didn’t need to pay admission to come inside and watch the hockey players (and read my book) to get out of the heat. 12. The older gentleman who lives across the street from where I am house sitting always stops by when he sees me outside, to let me know that if I need anything, to please call him. He’s very protective of me, but not intrusive. Last year, he invited me, along with all of his “real” neighbors, to a ********* party at his house. 13. The clerk at the thrift store where I like to shop gave me a 75% off coupon to use next week, after he saw that my own 25% off coupon had expired yesterday. Oh yeah, I guess that’s more than 10 Lol : )
