Shout Out

A few weeks ago, I was wandering in the forums and read a response post by glassprimitif and the name rang a bell. I went through my favorites section on etsy and came across a piece I hearted months ago. She had mentioned in her post about having something hidden in her listings and the finder would receive a pair of earrings. Having nothing else much to do, I searched and found the listing. I contacted her and asked if she'd switch the prize. How obnoxious and presumptuous of me!!! She graciously agreed and in the mail today came this fabulous pendant. So beautiful and my picture is not, but I wanted to post not just the piece but to call out the wonderful kindness and generosity of one special seller on etsy. Thank you, Jo!

Kindness

Isn't it always easier to be kind rather than mean? Especially at this time of year?

There's a wonderful, kind elderly lady in my neighborhood who recently underwent knee replacement surgery. I wasn't told until she was already home from rehab. It was also mentioned that her cell phone case was tattered. So I immediately knit her a new one and delivered it. She was thrilled. By the way, her cell phone-the latest on the market, embarrassed me since mine is circa 2001!

I told her that I was sorry I didn't know of her surgery earlier so I could help and she dismissed my guilt with a wave of her hand. Now she has invited about 20 ladies,myself included, to a thank you luncheon. Too sweet. Too kind. What a dear she is. Sadly she'll be moving soon to be closer to her son and his family. I hope they appreciate her kindness. I do!
