The Kindness of my Serene Friend

"Goodness is something that makes us serene and content; it is magnificent."
~ Bhumibol Adulyadej

I have a lovely friend who always looks serene.  No matter what is swirling about her, she is able to maintain her smile and her composure.  Recently, she texted me that she was on her way back from a weekend away and to ask if my children would be available for a play date.  On the evening that the family returned from an out-of-town weekend?  Yes, she said.  My children had been very eager to see her children, and, as always, they were thrilled to go to her house.  I had to go to an evening event, so it worked well for me, too.  And when I arrived to pick up my children -- a little later than I had hoped, my very lovely and very serene friend smiled as though it was 3 pm in the afternoon.
