the kindness of strangers: February 7, 2007

I was walking to the Post Office, more focused on staying warm (even with my long coat on) and watching the beautiful sunset at 4:45 than I was on my surroundings. Suddenly, a car is slowing down next to me, and a lady is calling out the open passenger window, "Ma'am, your scarf!" I turn to look at her and she's pointing behind her, down the street. I look down the sidewalk and there is my purple cashmere muffler, lying in a heap on the sidewalk. How nice was that?!
