I was too busy being kind yesterday to write my blog! So here's my explanation. My neighbors are moving, which is a great shame as they are good ones, but on the upside, we can visit them at their new home near the beach. They are long standing residents of our little village and I thought they needed a send off, hence the absence of a blog and the presence of a slightly blurry head and todays mildly fuzzy blog.
Vast quantities of food, copious amounts of wine, beer and whiskey, plenty of crazy children……..banter, laughter and a bit of reminiscing were present. A humongous cake, dripping with frosting and decorated with chocolate seashells was consumed and friendships firmed up before the moving truck moves out.
It's easy to overlook such things, people moving on, birthdays, milestones…….when good stuff or not so good stuff happens. Things and people can so easily get shoved to one side and fall through the cracks when life looms large and busyness takes over. I have found, these past few weeks, that kindness does take time and it can seem like a burden. Being selfish is much easier and by far quicker. But kindness brings rewards it is strengthening and fun and holds memories in it's large and outstretched hands. It makes things real. Kindness#15….Parties are necessary.
