Special moments that change your day. Thank fullness.
10 years ago
Ever have a vary simple experience that changed your whole outlook on the day?
Sitting in Texas 2,000+ miles from home and family for Thanksgiving with endless troubles along the way and a winter storm moving in kinda putting this pup in a grumpy mood!
Then after pulling into the truck stop for the night work my way across the lot to do laundry and take a shower when I notice a swift truck pulling in to fuel with a air leak in the trailer tire.
Now, you should check your rig and trailer when fueling, but I know what it's like when you're in a rush so I walk over to let the driver know they should check there tires.
It was a small black girl and I scared her a little (6'+ dirty...) She thought I wanted money and thought I know swift dose not pay well (anything x.x) she instantly dug into her well worn bag for a buck happily... Hear I was grumbling and feeling down while she was happy to have a job and willing to help a complete stranger out with what little she had.
Took a second to explain I was just letting her know a tire was out (barely spoke English) but had me thinking about how greedy and lazy American's really our and the immigrants that want protection, but the chance that one in a thousand might be bad is big news or the lack of jobs...
No American will proudly do blue collar work anymore and I really wonder why?
I wish her and anyone coming to our country the best and reminds me to be thankful for a dry bed, food and clean water... Thousands die for things we don't even think about and we complain that our 4g went out x.x
God bless America, may she always stand for freedom and the "pursuit of happiness" never a guarantee, usually just a dream, but what a dream. Thanks!
