Dinner
It is almost midnight and I am folding laundry that has been out on the couch all week. I spent about 45 minutes or so looking at YOUR blogs and enjoying your kids and your lives. As I was folding, I thought about my blog and thought, "Hmm, what made me happy today?"
Well, one happy moment of my day was when I took dinner to a woman I know from church who had a baby four weeks ago. For four weeks, I have wanted to drop off "a little something" and I finally did it. No one asked me to do this and I feel happier having done it voluntarily.
It isn't my style to fancy up the "drop-off" and maybe she would have appreciated a cellophane-bow-on-top wrapped up dinner, but I just dropped off my burritos and some cookies, chatted for a minute and left.
This dinner didn't stress me out at all, but the one I have been asked to deliver in a few weeks is already giving me fits. Oh well. Maybe if I buy some cellophane, it would all go over better.

Speaking from a woman who has a newborn, those dinners that come later than usual, are greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteOne neighbor made sure to check me during week 6, and was heaven sent. I bet she appreciated your burritos and cookies more than you can know.
Thanks Sheila. Your comment made me feel happy that I went ahead and delivered the meal four weeks post-delivery. I think I'll do it again. You are awesome!
