Right, so this kindness thing is hard! I wanted to be random, creative, out of the box….but instead I baked a cake. Well four actually, the first two stuck on the bottom, so I did two more. Those two stuck as well……..sure is hard being kind when you have limited bakeware!
I am visiting a friend this afternoon, she has a new baby and my memory of what that was like is not all that distant. My eldest is eight and my twins are almost five. People were kind to me when I had the twins, others kept their distance. I remember those kindnesses and I especially remember the baking. Cakes held mythical properties to me, I was sleep deprived, more than slightly frazzled and cakes were food for my soul and heart.
So, you can see now how I arrived at my first act of kindness, my friend with her hair no doubt out of place and baby sick on her shoulder, her new son being beautiful doing not much at all and my cake……..not so perfect, but hopefully needed. Kindness #1….soul food.
