5 Nice Things About Today

1. There was a man playing steel drums in the subway. Such happy music.
   
2. A guy sat on the very back and centre seat of the bus, with his feet up on two of the chairs down the ailse in front of him. He looked like a king on his throne, surveying his territory.
   
3. I came across these two Audrey Hepburn quotes, which I have seen before, but really like:
   "Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it`s at the end of your arm. As you get older, remember you have another hand: the first is to help yourself, the second is to help others."
   "For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you will never walk alone. People, even more than things have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed."
   
4. The young black man that nearly ran into me had a very nice smile.
   
5. The barista at Second Cup looked surprised and then pleased when I asked for whipped cream on my hot chocolate.
