I don't remember if I mentioned this in a previous post, but the other day, Friday, I think, a woman nudged me awake - to let me know it was time to get off the train.

I'd dozed off and if she'd not nudged me awake - I'd have missed my stop and been late for work.

Nudge.
Me: Whaaat?? (Disoriented)
Woman: excuse me, but I know you get off at this stop, since you do every day - right before me.
Me: Oh, yes, thank you! Thank you!
Woman: no problem.

It was the same woman who had told me to say excuse me two days prior, on Wed. The lady, I'd called a Dingbat in my head...

The Universe likes to surprise me and unravel my assumptions.

Also, this is why I like public transportation and living in a city - when you are alone, you aren't ever really a lone. People got your back and you have theirs. I feel like I'm part of a community. There's always someone to talk to, or to interact with. To watch. To exchange a smile or greeting.

Cities are for people who like people, and as much as I complain? I actually do like people for the most part.
