Reason to Smile #4 - People Who Save the Day

Superhero

Who can’t smile at someone who swoops in and saves the day?  I know that I will never turn away someone who decided to come to my rescue.  Everyone needs a little bit of saving now and then.

I was saved today but a couple of people and it definitely gave me a smile in a not so happy situation.

When I arrived at my college this morning I was looking for a place to park.  Sometimes parking can be tight and a bit short in supply.  I was maneuvering my way through when I heard crunch.  I stopped and got out to see just how bad the damage was.  I had scraped up the front bumper a bit, leaving some of my paint behind, but no dents.  I left my contact information, grabbed his license plate number and parked my car.  Turns out, after asking at the front desk, that the owner of the car is in one of my classes.  So we go across to figure out how we’re going to solve the situation.

Through everything I was so shaken up (and yes, I’ll admit it, pretty emotional).  This was my first crash dealing with another car.  The only other crash I had was in the winter and it was just my car that was involved in the situation.

Anyways, the reason I was able to smile in all of this?  There was a girl who also went to my school that came in after I hit the car and offered paper and a pen.  She also caught up with me later to make sure everything was okay.

My other reason to smile would be my boyfriend, who is so much better in situations like this than I am!  He’s definitely calm and comes up with solutions that are much more practical than how I was dealing with things to begin with.

So, thank you to both of you who saved me today.

Don’t forget to smile at those who save the day for you too.  : )
