french country kitchen chair




So itapos;s Friday morning and Iapos;m riding my bicycle to school.� I reach the top on a not-insubstantial hill to the road the school is on and Iapos;m pedaling along and next thing I know the pedaling has become more difficult.� I�glance down and�look at the rear tire and it is flat.� Damn.� So I walk the bike to school, which is only about 10 minutes from where I noticed the flat.� I lock the bike to its place and give the wheel a quick once over before going into school, and it looks okay: no obvious damage, doesnapos;t look like the tire has been punctured, but it is flat.� Not much I can do at this point so I just leave it and walk into school.

When school is over I walk out to the bike, hang my heavy backpack on the handle bars and begin the 45 minutes walk home.� In case youapos;re wondering, the ride takes a little over 15 minutes.� I get back to the house, put the bike in the barn, and leave it.� Itapos;s been a long week and Iapos;m just not in the mood to deal with it at the moment.� Iapos;m tired and Iapos;m feeling down because my sole means of transportation with not transport me anywhere.

The the landlord stops by my room early in the evening.� He does a lot of downhill mountain biking, with the speed and the drops and the turns and dirt and all that.� He noticed my flat tire, probably took a look at it himself, and he tells me heapos;s headed out to pick up a few things, and he was planning on going to one of the local sports stores himself, and he offers to pick me up a new inner tube.

That just picked me right up.� That small offer of kindness.� Just five minutes earlier I was drowsy and sluggish and I didnapos;t want to do much of anything.� And then, in the span of a snap of the fingers, Iapos;m alert and feeling good, and itapos;s just amazing what a small thing like was offered to can completely change the way you feel.
