It's a good thing! You just look really happy in your pic!

I was at the mall last night with the folks. Mom is now in a wheelchair so I was pushing her down the mall. We needed to get in the elevator and there was a small group of teens ahead of us for the elevator. All really cute and dancing and having fun. They saw the wheelchair, stepped aside, and said we need to let them go first! Man, too bad so many times teens in the mall get a bad rap! That really made a great impression on me. I wanted to tell them how much we appreciated it but we never saw them again.
