I have been overwhelmed lately by how kind people have been to me. It isn't always just help, either, like the treatments Rebecca has offered for my foot and other things. Sometimes, it's just nice little things, like giving me a bouquet of flowers after I admired them at church, or bringing me a set of Disney scrapbooking stickers when they heard I'd recently gone to Disneyland. Too, are the things that I can give to others - like organizing files or kitchens, helping with gardening, or leading children's music or playing the piano - that give me a sense of personal contribution. I like to feel needed.
The liberal give and take - without thinking of payback - is refreshing and cheering. It makes me feel part of the sisterhood community within the church. I feel confident - I have friends. Life is sweeter because of it all.
