I saw an older couple out for their early evening walk, strolling along, holding hands. Nice.
I saw a bunch of ducks cooling themselves in the river, and a dad and his young son feeding them some bread. All parties were happy! Nice.
Then in this not so great section of town, where there are a lot of multi-family rental homes, one in particular has virtually NO yard. Everyone is always sitting on the front steps and even on the sidewalk in their lawn chairs. It looks like about 85 people live there, because there is always such a crowd. This afternoon the ice cream truck had stopped there and the little kids were all getting a treat. These kids were so happy! Joy beamed off their little faces, as they licked as fast as they could, before their special treat melted away. These little kids clearly don't have a lot, and you could tell just how happy they were to have an ice cream. Wouldn't it be great if everyone appreciated the little things like getting an ice cream from the ice cream truck?
I am a Putnamaniac because seeing simple things like this every day makes me happy!
