"On finding beauty"

Today, I looked out the bus window at the spectacular clouds and snow tipped mountains/it's a completely different sort of beauty then in MD, a beauty that I sometimes miss. 

today, i was on the bus when I observed a woman say the following to someone she did not know:

"I noticed that your shopping bag is beginning to tear, and I have an extra bag so why don't you take it?!"

I smiled and told her: "You know what you just did is one of the things that I love about a small town!  I rarely saw acts of kindness like that in Baltimore, my hometown."

She smiled.
