Today was the ultimate test of my RAK journey. In the beginning I told myself I wanted to do this to see if I would/could continue the kindness in times of trouble, sadness, anger or general laziness.
The morning greeted me with very disappointing news. When things truly upset me I am not one to share it. I either pack it away or I isolate myself until I am ready for humanity again. This morning, after reading my email, I crawled back in bed and really, really, really wanted to sleep the day away. On my TO DO LIST today, however, was "Call Davida" -- my friend who just broke her foot. Just wanted to check in on her to see if she needed anything. I put it off hour after hour because I just wasn't ready to put on my smiley face and talk to anyone.
After a long, hot shower I checked my phone to find that SHE had called ME first...of course I quickly returned the call. Needing a few groceries, I gladly hopped to it and I have to say thank you to Davida! Doing a favor for her actually did a favor for me. She crashed my Pity Party and doing something nice for her put a smile back on my face that I didn't think was possible. Thanks D! xox
