appreciate the little things

I appreciate my quite time. Needed some ME time.

Came and introduced himself yesterday while I was weeding the front area, and offered to weed ‘em for me. I politely declined, but he politely insisted so I agreed to let him if he’d allow me to compensate him and his wife with my banana bread (that I was already making for the other nice neighbors who gave me all those bananas)!

Made a point to stop in and visit me at my job today! She called my co-worker to see if I was in, and told her not to tell me so I’d be surprised :D She brought me a white rose, and lots of food and… More bananas!! I was pleasantly surprised and it was great to chat with her; take a nice, long break ;D I love my MIL, she’s truly a pure, good woman.

As I was running, a random lady in the neighborhood approached me and offered me a huge stem of bananas! I was so touched and thanked her for the gift. Once the bananas are ripe, I am planning to make her banana bread as a “thank you” for her kindness :D
