Courtesy appreciated

Courtesy is still alive in Lexington. I was on a Lextran bus when my plastic bags broke on a bus seat. A young woman gave me her winter scarf and wrapped my grocery items in it.

It was so kind because she also smiled. I did not get her name, but her courtesy made me smile, too. Thanks to the young woman. I am a senior who values kindness.
