The Kindness of an Invitation

"When autumn darkness falls, what we will remember are the small acts of kindness: a cake, a hug, an invitation to talk, and every single rose."
~ Jens Stoltenberg

As I was heading home after what felt like a long day, my lovely friend called to see if I wanted to go for a walk -- exercise, fresh air, winding down.  I told her that I was very tired and she told me that even when she is tired, she always feels better after her walk.  Pretty convincing.  I ended up not being able to walk with her that day, but she promised to keep inviting me.  I know she will and that makes me glad.
