Never underestimate..

Went to get a latte at a local coffee shop this AM..I had forgotten the lady who served somehow knew of Becky's condition, who knows, I may have been in a spouting mood one day and briefly mentioned to her the 'road' being traveled..She asked me today; 'how is your wife?"..I looked at her with a slightly surprised faced, again, not realizing she knew of Becky's illness. I told her of my sweet wife's passing. The wonderful server who did not know this morning when she stepped into work, she would be giving someone a hug and in an instant contribute to the sooothing of grief, did just that. She gave me a hug with tears in her eyes, and of course, tears began to fill mine. She enveloped me with arms, a hug that will and should never be underestimated. I suppose she could have just stayed behind the counter and said..consoling words, that would have been just fine, but with all the genuiness she could muster, she ASKED me if she could hug me, yes asked me, thinking maybe it was not appropriate, or otherwise. I had no time to think about it, I simply allowed it, and thus 'medicine' was administered. She didn't have to do this, but she did..I thanked her of course and went on my way, I tell ya', that iced vanilla latte never tasted so good..never.
Hope you are experiencing some 'tasty' moments in life. Again, the cards, letters, hugs, calls, emails and more sure are warm and comforting, thank you so very much.

Thank you Lord for this day...for the sun, moon and stars..sounds silly, but hey, never underestimate the simple act of saying 'thank you' for these things and more..

Much Love to you all..Celebrate Life.
