I was out for lunch yesterday, and chose a table by the
window so I would have good light for stitching when I finished eating.
I had been doing so for a little while when my light was
suddenly blocked. I looked up, and there was a woman standing there, looking
interestedly at what I was doing.
So I held it up so that she could see.
So I held it up so that she could see.
She gave me an enthusiastic smile and made
"applause" motions with her mittened hands. I smiled back, and
mouthed "thank you".
"Happy new year!" she mouthed back.
"And to you!" I said.
And then she went on her way.
The exchange took all of a minute, but it warmed me the rest
of the day.
I guess I still feel a little toasty today, too. 😊
Talk soon,
Kit
There ya go. I had a feeling your earlier thoughts on working in public didn't quite ring true, at least in my experience. So happy you had this little exchange, a true kindness from a stranger. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd the story of her encouraging you, warming your heart, has encouraged me and warmed mine too. Happy Saturday! :-)
ReplyDeletewhat a fine story, Kit. For all those hesitant moments, I will remember this one and trust that it is the new normal...I would love wome of that sweet, quiet, positive support messaging...very special, indeed.
