The Kindness of Old and New Friends

The highlight of my day was a small celebration for Needlepoint Nancy’s birthday. We needlepointed, had a yummy ricotta cheese cake made by Karen, Nancy opened gifts and it was general merriment.

This small group I belong too is kind and generous and is a joy. The friendship and fellowship is something I cherish and hold dear.

Then I went to work. I shouldn’t call it work because it is pure pleasure. This was my third class with a group of young mothers who mostly live in the same neighborhood. They have been so fun to teach. Tonight was sadly our last class and Faith, whose house we were at tonight gave me two sweet gifts, she said we’re from the group – A darling Mah Jongg Pad and tea towel.

I certainly don’t expect gifts, but it seems like I am getting them more and more often. I am so touched by people’s generosity. It does make me a little sad when I finish a class with people I like, but it will be time to move on to the next two new classes tomorrow.
