Three grinning siblings cross my way every morning at school. They have sunny dispositions even on the coldest mornings.
The other crossing guard, the one out on the street, seeks refuge in her car while waiting for the kids to come. The other day she didn't make it to the corner in time when the three kids wanted to cross but a car stopped and the driver waved the kids across.
These three were just thrilled with the turn of events.
The oldest sister said to her younger brother and sister, "People are just so nice!"
What a way to look at the world.
They could have been unhappy that the crossing guard wasn't in her place. They could have been expectant that a car would wait for them to cross (there is a crosswalk after all). Instead, they chose to marvel at the goodness of people.
It was a cold morning, but it surely warmed my heart.
