Warm Fuzzies

Best thing ever today. I was walking home from the bus stop, having subbed at a high school downtown. As I crossed a street, I glanced up at the minivan that waited at the stop light in order to make sure the driver saw me,* and someone in the passenger seat waved to me. It was one of the kids from the private school where I sub! The sweet little 5th grader recognized his substitute teacher all bundled up on a snowy day and waved to her. And smiled. I was so happy after that.


* I got hit by a car recently when I was walking through a crosswalk. The driver had stopped at the crosswalk, but didn't see me right in front of his car. He hit me at a slow speed, then didn't really understand what happened and decided to go forward, meaning he hit me again.
