"Women should never go without earrings. Passing them is an opportunity missed."
~ Jennifer Lopez
Some people never miss an opportunity for kindness -- even when I come close to missing an opportunity to wear earrings.
I was staying at a dear friend's house to attend an out-of-town memorial service. We were running a little late as we got in the car for the drive. Just a couple of minutes after leaving my friend's house, her husband called. "I found an earring," he said. I immediately reached for my ears and realized that I was wearing only one earring. My friend asked me if I wanted to turn around, but I remembered that I had a spare pair in my purse. Nonetheless, I was touched by her husband's kindness. I am not sure that every husband would have noticed an earring on his kitchen counter and then thought to make a call to alert his wife's friend that she was missing an opportunity to wear both earrings.
