The Kindness of Neighbors

"Truth is a deep kindness that teaches us to be content in our everyday life and share with the people the same happiness."
~  Khalil Gibran

Not having a kitchen presents unanticipated challenges.  Today it was no ketchup -- and I have a child who eats most things with ketchup.  As she looked at one more take-out meal, she said, "We don't have ketchup" in that tone of voice that conveys a bigger problem that might at first appear.  So we did what we have never done before: we actually knocked on a neighbor's door and asked if we could "borrow" ketchup.  Of course, the answer was yes and back at home with ketchup, all was well with our world -- at least temporarily.
