In a foul mood for no reason

A colleague of mine rightly pointed out midday Friday I was in a bad mood.
I’m not a great fan of 10-plus inches of snow falling in one day.
Also making me grumpy late last week, my car was stuck in a snow drift on South Van Buren Street outside the newspaper’s offices. I was sans car for more than a day, needed a ride home from work Thursday and a lift to work Friday morning. But a series of events around the end of my workday Friday made me realize I wasn’t seeing the goodness in people.
First, several members of the sports staff at the Amarillo Globe-News helped push my car out of the snow dirt Friday afternoon.
I managed to make it home safely, only to get stuck in more snow in the gutter of my driveway.
About that time, two men stopped the Jeep they were driving, got out with two shovels and started to move the snow from around my stuck car. They didn’t even ask if they could help. They just started to shovel.
Venturing out this weekend, I saw a number of examples of people stopping to help others stuck in the snow.
That colleague was right Friday.
I shouldn’t have been in a bad mood. I should have been kind to others the way they were to me.
