DAY 49

I asked an elderly woman if she wanted my seat and she gratefully gave the seat to her husband who had a cane. Across the car another woman stood up and asked if the elderly woman wanted her seat. A few minutes later I heard the elderly woman murmur, "there are still nice people in this world." I couldn't help but roll the familiar MTA loudspeaker announcement, "courtesy is contagious...", in my head.
