Last winter, the snowflakes were falling, a portrait of white beauty on top of the streets.
The buses were slowly rolling at each stop, with a lot of people stuffed on them, trying to get where we wanted to go on time. On our bus, the heat finally kicked in about halfway on the route to fun.
We got off at a park where people from various cultures came to play with us. We played ball. We had snowball fights in the thick snow. I was happy to bond with people over coffee and grilled bologna and cheese sandwiches.
Before getting on that bus, I had to put on two pairs of gloves, two pairs of socks, two pairs of pants, and two sweaters! That’s what it took to keep me warm. It also helps to have a friend sit close to you.
Afterward, my friend and I went back to our neighborhood and shoveled for the elderly folks we know and love. I thanked God for the salt that paved our street so the bus could come through. Fortunately, no one slid across the sidewalk pavement.
I know some people predict we will get more thick snow this winter. If that happens, you should also think about other people, serve food, and help out at a health center or community center for those who don’t have plenty like you do.
