Day 34

If any of you are from Southern California, and have been to the Topanga Mall, you know parking is very difficult, especially around the holidays. It is equivalent to leaving a concert or sports game parking lot. People are desperate for parking spots and can end up driving around and waiting around for 30 minutes to find one. A few months ago, around the holidays, I drove to Nordstroms because I needed to pick something up. After driving around for a few minutes I realized there was nothing, and thought maybe I should just come back another time. But out of nowhere, as I was leaving the Nordstroms parking area, I saw someone was starting to pull out of a parking spot. I rushed over to get the spot and at the same time I arrived, someone else approached the parking spot coming from the opposite direction. He signaled me to take the spot. I then waved to say thank you and he waved back. I thought this was a nice gesture, given the circumstances of how hard it is find a parking spot at this mall. 

Always remember, it is the little things in life that people appreciate and remember.
