Where to sit?


A couple weeks ago, Adam & I attended an Operetta @ Pierce college. I sat next to an older woman who was excited to know all about my pregnancy. Since my belly has been obviously with child, people who would normally ignore me are overly excited to strike up conversation about it. It's fun to see the excitement people have over a new little life that they don't even know. By the end of the performance, the woman, Bonnie asked if she could send me some scrap-booking stuff. I thought for sure she was just trying to sell a product. Much to my surprise, today I received a large package in the mail with a beautiful "Creative Memories" scrapbook inside, complete with all the papers I'll need, some pens and other extras along with poems and words of wisdom about motherhood. Inside there was a hand-written letter congratulating me on mommyhood-to-be. No strings attached. Just a generous genuine gesture of kindness from a complete stranger who had no obligation to do anything for me. Makes me want to do something nice for someone else.
