Kindness on the Coast

This week I am in Wilmington teaching. My friends Lane and Jon have been so generous to put me up yet again. Since I taught an afternoon and a night class I was out most of the time. It is just so great to come back to their sweet house and have a comfortable place to unwind.

My first two days were at the Cape Fear Country club. This is my return visit. The good thing about that is I have return students. I love when I get to teach the same people and we get to become friends. These ladies are so wonderful to me. (they are probably wonderful to everyone.)

I especially appreciated Mary for treating me to dinner tonight and to Carol Ann for joining us. The hardest part about breezing in to teach for a couple days and rushing home is I really would like to spend more time with the new friends I make.

One thing about me though, is I have no shame in calling people up to say when I am in their area and asking to get together with them. This is something I think people don’t do much anymore. I wish people did it more.

I have to say that when I do call people they almost always will get together and seem happy that I initiated the reunion.

When you live in a vacation spot it might get tiring if you have a lot of visitors, but life is short. We don’t have any idea how many more times you are going to be in a certain place and get a chance to spend time with friends, new or old. I am ever thankful for the kindness of old and new friends.
