Standing on the up bound escalator, destination street side, I glanced over to the bustling pedestrian traffic hiking the long lane of stairs to my right. Many literal steps ahead, I noticed a young girl, determinedly covering ground, make it to the top, turn around and beam triumphantly at her almost there guardian. Not a smile, not a grin, but a full on beam radiating a palpable sense of accomplishment. I couldn’t help but share in her enthusiasm and smile. Maybe next week I’ll take the stairs.
