Kindness

Yesterday was not the best day on the health front for me.  I suspect that the beginnings of my cold can be blamed on a suppressed immune system, but the reason for it is immaterial.  My major disappointment yesterday morning was the thought that I might have to cancel two activities for the day to which I was really looking forward.  My granddaughter was taking me to lunch, then later in the afternoon we had friends coming bearing edible gifts and offering excellent company.
Not being one to wallow in self-pity I popped a Tylenol and soldiered on, the result being a day of supreme enjoyment.  Sitting across the table from a precious granddaughter eating a Joe's Farm Grill hotdog, then later in the day spending a few hours over delicious pasta soup and excellent conversation.....priceless!  And the reason for "priceless"?  It's kindness.  From the onset of our journey I (we) have been the recipient(s) of innumerable kindnesses, expressed in so many ways that  I couldn't possibly list the many examples here.  There would not be room on the page.
My prayer is that we, my family and I, will have the opportunity to express our thanks in words and actions to you all when I am well.  And my equally important prayer is that I may have the privilege of modeling to others the kindness that has been modeled so graciously for me.
Many, many thanks.
