My friend Erin mentioned that she wouldn’t be able to make it to folding tonight, since it was the only night that she could get for a hair appointment. I figured that she wanted to be looking spruced up for the holidays, so very much understandable.
However, it wasn’t about looking smart or stylish, exactly. She showed up at the end of folding with a much shorter cut and it turns out that she had cut off her long hair to donate to charity. My friend Lori’s elementary school age daughter recently did the same thing with her young friend.
Having the wonderful and cheerful volunteers at folding and knowing people who are so thoughtful and selfless makes me feel very lucky indeed. So, this year, I am most grateful for having good people in my life. Whenever things seem scary or difficult, I need to remember that there is lots of good and love in the world, and I am fortunate to be around that.
Happy Thanksgiving!
