I wasn’t able to make it to the table. One day I will though!
I drive by a middle school on my way to work and I see a young man, in his early twenties perhaps. He is the crossing guard and he stands as still and stoic as a military guard on sentry duty. A month ago I told myself I was giving him a Valentine. So Friday, I stopped at the intersection and called to him and then I reached through the window and gave him the card and told him how grateful I was for keeping the children safe. He stepped back and as I made the turn I was able to glance over at him. He was looking at his card and had the biggest most beautiful smile I’ve seen on anyone in the longest while…Happy Valentines Day I called to him as I waved. And He waved back too. The whole mini moment was the best I’ve truly felt in a long time. Giving is such a good thing!
Kathy I truly appreciate how you share your gifts and wisdom with us all. It prompts us to be creative and to look at life differently. You are a very special woman. Thanks and hugs.
