That Embarrassing Moment

Sometimes, when I have an idea to post on the blog, I write the subject on a tiny post it note and put it in my agenda. Today the tiny paper (neon green) shouted out to me. I’ve tried to resist because I just did not want to talk about it.

Larry and I have known this couple for over 10 years. They are very sweet and we have always acknowledged each other when we crossed paths. They always seem pleasant to us. (they even came to one of our dinner parties before Coronavirus)

Last week, I saw this couple. They were perhaps 10 feet away from me, made eye contact, smiled, raised my hand to wave , ready to visit and that’s when it hit me. They were going to ignore me. Flat out ignore me. I stood there for a moment.

I kept smiling and turned around and walked away. I felt like I was in high school again. You remember, That embarrassing moment.

I know that many people are having difficult times. ALL of our lives have changed and they will never be quite the same again.

The one thing that should be consistent is…kindness.

This morning, I wrote a real letter to a woman who is having a difficult time. I would have liked to hugged her instead of just sending a note….

Please have a happy day. Stay kind.

Love you beyond the moon.

Me
