more defense of the xy

not too long ago, steph recounted some experiences that reminded her that men are wonderful. or how wonderful wonderful men are. as women, we often find ourselves discussing their shortcomings. i don't know really know why--i guess somehow it makes us feel better. but sometimes you have those moments when you think 'men are truly amazing.'

i had one of those moments on sunday. i was driving jeremy and corey back from dropping off jeremy's 'work' vehicle, and i stopped for gas in preparation for the trek home later that night.

it was raining. and cold. i pulled up to the pump, and corey hopped out while saying, 'i got this'. simultaneously, jeremy noticed a man on the other side of the station trying to push his car to the pump. before he could finish the sentence 'i wonder if that guy needs help,' he was jumping out of the car to lend a hand.

perhaps this seems insignificant, but i found a great deal of gratitude in knowing that i am blessed by men in my life who exhibit thoughtful and selfless behavior.
