They do exist. Good people, that is.
Out there in the big mean world, there are good people.
Sometimes they show themselves and my faith in kindness is restored.
Case in point, Hubs and I went for a run this weekend on a local paved trail. At one point, I pulled a dog poop bag out of my running belt to take care of some, you know, dog business that the four-legged beast left behind. I felt something hit my leg and I looked around, but saw nothing. I looked again, still nothing. Hubs suggested maybe it was a bug.
Maybe. There had been some big dragonflies around.
We resumed our run. Fast foward two hours and I'm at home in the shower. Hubs comes up and says, "You should always trust your gut."
I had no idea what he was talking about. Then he explained that a Prius had driven into the driveway and a guy he didn't know had knocked on the door. He opened the door and there stood a complete stranger. The same stranger that had picked up my dropped driver's license off the running trail, punched my address into his GPS and drove my license to my house to hand deliver it.
I wish I could have said thank you myself, but Hubs assured me that he thanked him profusely.
My faith in people again restored.

- Just A Normal Mom
- My best friend and I have always said we are the normal ones - it's everyone else with the problems! At least it makes us feel better, even if it might not be true. I'm the forty-something mother of a teenage boy and a black lab mix, married and living in the Pacific Northwest where I grew up. Hubs and I lived on Maui when we met and we often dream of moving back some day. In the meantime, I write about life. A little of this, a little of that. I love humor and probably complain too much. But that's just because the world around me isn't 'normal', like me!

That is awesome.. so nice of him to bring it back to you that way.
That made me smile! I'm so happy to hear of people like that...the ones who care. I know there are a lot of them out there, but having personal experiences with them reinforces my belief in the goodness of the human race. Or something profound like that.
Anywho, that was really awesome. I'm proud of that guy!
THAT IS AMAZING!!! I love stories like this.
Wow. You are so lucky. :)
Oh wow, what a great Good Samaritan! It IS wonderful to see the best in people. We can get cynical so easily...or, I can. So glad you had good "neighbor" looking out for you.
It is a breath of fresh air when those moments present themselves. Still ever the skeptic, I would've been extra thankful Hubs was the one who intercepted at the door. Especially since I rarely open the door to anyone I don't know (and a few select I pretend I don't know).
what an awesome guy!
