Generosity unmasked

Sunday morning in the local supermarket I saw a man wearing an N-95 mask. Having been trying to find one for over a month, (I am a lung cancer survivor and have advanced COPD), I inquired of him as to where he got it. He said something like "working in an auto repair shop" and speaking through the mask, his speech was somewhat muffled.

So I smiled and simply said how lucky he was to have one. Leaving the store, walking to my car, this same man approached me and handed me two N-95 masks - saying "Keep Well" and walked away. My heart was so touched and this gave me such a joyful attitude, I had to write to share with others how much love and kindness there is out there.
