Today could have turned out pretty bad…but it didn’t. I had the opportunity to use what we learned on Tuesday…patience. Let’s just say that there are a lot of people out there who are good at expanding your capacity to love…
A very precious friend of mine, whom I respect very much, pointed some things out to me today. Profoundly, the heart of the issue was laid out before me…all I could say was “WOW”. Words cannot express the gratitude I feel for such honesty, for honesty in the matters of the heart takes much courage to express… and with such honesty and trust, much is accomplished in deepening the character of an individual. So, I’m saying that I became a better person today because my friend spoke honestly. It’s not everyday that a friend like this comes into your life, so treasure and protect friendships like this one with much zeal. Don’t let idle things get in the way of these rare friendships…less you be called a FOOL!!!!
Today ended on a high note, despite my having to work til nearly 11:00 PM. Gloria and Hyemin stopped by to study at my store…a pleasant surprise. It’s always good to see YAWay folks!!! Thanks for stopping by today, you two. It vastly improved how today finished out. Share your troubles and your burden is divided and lightened. Share your joys and it is multiplied and celebrated. Those aren’t the exact words of a famous phrase, but it’s close enough. ^________^
