The Kindness of Saying Yes

"A gentle heart is tied with an easy thread."
~ George Herbert

I have a friend, my steadfast friend, who is great at saying yes.  If she can do something, she readily agrees.  And once she does, she keeps her commitment.  Ever since I met her a few decades ago, she has had the same easy-going manner and willingness to accompany me on any adventure.  She is never complicated -- there is rarely a "let me see," or questions about who might be going...  And if she cannot do something, she lets you know.  I was reminded of how much I value the way she responds to invitations recently when I asked her to accompany me to a Mass, of all things.  There is real kindness in an uncomplicated response.
