Yesterday on my way home from work, I stopped by a friend’s house to pick something up. She opened the door with a warm welcome, and I went in (a house that is not mine!).
We sat at her kitchen table, and we talked for almost two hours (without masks!). Oh, how fun!
When I left, she tucked a package of homemade brownies in the box. (What is this craziness? Since when can we share food??)
It was the weirdest, perfectly normal experience.
All evening, I kept thinking about it.
And it’s the brownies I can’t shake. A simple act of kindness that bowls me over when I realize how much time has passed since I’ve been on either end of that exchange.

Ohh — so sweet! Yay for small acts of kindness that feel so big after a year of yuck!

In so many moments I can feel you shedding the fear and focus of the last year. You went in, stayed, showed your face, accepted the gesture and I can tell you feel more like you with each one.

‘It was the weirdest, perfectly normal experience.’
This sentence captures so much about our pandemic weeks and months. Glad you had some normalcy! 🙂

So crazy, all that we have not done for a year… And so nice to be starting to put a few of these lovely sweet pieces- friends, conversations, shared treats– back into place in our lives.
