I’m in Nürnberg for a few days. The city of the famous Christmas Market. Known to me, till a short while ago, only as a name in the title of a famous movie.

But neither of these two facts make for my good reality of today.

What makes me smile is a small incidence at breakfast in my hotel. As I sat there, a gentleman walked in with a cane and glasses. I first looked up as he explained to the ladies serving that he couldn’t see well and if they could guide him.

One of the women immediately said “of course, please take my arm. I will help you serve.” She took him to the buffet, told him what was there and served him. Then gently walked him to a comfortable table.

Isn’t that a simple act but ever so nice?
