Little Old Lady ~ ; )
As I was walking towards the Safeway grocery store entrance, there was a very small old woman (about 60 lbs) with her small metal rolling basket filled, going towards the side walk...she was soooo frail & small & was obviously having a hard time walking...it was about 85-90 degrees out. At first I was afraid to approach her, I didn't want to scare her. But, thinking of the act of kindness project I just joined, gave me the courage to ask her if she would like a ride. She said "oh yes, that would be nice!". She had been in a nursing home due to a hip injury for several months. She has no family, so I gave her my phone number, and we made plans for weekly trips to the grocery store, and of course what ever else she needs. How magical is that!!! I have a new friend!

My New Friend
I saw a very tiny frail, (about 60 lbs) old lady coming from the grocery store as I was walking towards it. She was tiny, under 5ft, about 60 lbs, pushing her little wire basket. It was about 85-90 degrees and she was not walking well . I was afraid I might scare her... but this pledge inspired me to have courage & offer her a ride. "Oh yes, that would be nice". On the way to her house, I found out she has no family, & was recently out of a nursing home due to a hip surgery. so now we're friends & I will visit & take to do her shopping on Wednesdays. So the friendship begins!
