This morning I stopped at a local convenience store and as I walked toward the entrance I saw a man standing there who looked shady (suspicious) watching me. My antenna immediately went up imagining bad scenarios (robber, mugger, killer). In those few seconds I thought of my options for defending myself if need be. As I approached the door a magical thing happened; this man opened the door for me! He said nothing-just opened the door as if it was the most natural thing to do. I thanked him and went in. He never came into the store, just went on his merry way.  On the way back to my car I saw him just standing looking towards some far away place. He might have been homeless or unhinged, but one thing is for sure; good manners, kindness without expecting anything in return was his modus operandi today. I am humbled.
