― Audrey Hepburn
Kindness
arrived today in the form of a chocolate cake -- my favorite cake, to be
precise. And the timing could not have
been more perfect.
It has been a
full week. Not a bad week, but a busy,
emotional one. So... I was thrilled to find the very pleasant
surprise of my favorite cake waiting for me from one of my favorite people. This cake, which is a decadent concoction of
chocolate, is always a treat and only available at a specialty bakery in
town. My very thoughtful friend
introduced this cake to me a few years ago on her birthday and it has become my
birthday cake of choice. Receiving such
a thoughtful gift feels as though I am receiving a big hug or a bucketful of
kindness. The fact that my lovely friend,
a busy professional and mother, went to the trouble of getting one of my
favorite things means so much. But my
friend is pretty terrific and I recognize that having a terrific friend is a
blessing, too.
