A restoration of faith in humanity

 It seems as though every time I'm home alone mother nature decides to cast a blizzard on Utah.  Leaving me to shovel the driveway and sidewalks this is definitely a petty complaint and a "first world problem".  So as I sulked and pouted while shoveling the driveway I saw my neighbor snow blowing his sidewalk.  He's a pretty cool dude who is also active duty.  He continued to snow blow my driveway and sidewalk as well.  I proceeded to thank him a million times and he told me he would want someone to help his wife too if he was deployed.  A simple 5 minute act of kindness made my week.  We spend so much time thinking about all the bad in the world with the shootings, robberies, wars, drug trade, etc.  We often forget to stop and look around us to see the good.  I for one and extremely guilty of doing this.  I get so caught up in how disgusting people can be I don't take the time to realize how beautiful and selfless a lot of people are.  I think we all could use a little perspective every once in a while.  So, aside from being thankful for my neighbor I spent the day studying, hanging out with my two dudes while they "frolicked" in the snow, and cleaning.  It wasn't too bad
