Not that pretty of a picture today. But a picture of caring, of saying "I hope you feel better soon". It has been a week of being sick. Amazingly, I had not been sick for about 15 years. I must say, it just isn't fun! Not sure if it was the flu or just a bad cold; but I think I will survive.
My neighbor messaged me to let us know she would be gone for a few days this week. I said we would be here, as we are healing. A little while after that there was a knock on the door and a message from our neighbor saying she had left some soup by our door. That felt so cared for. Then the next day, our daughter brought more soup. We have the best soup bar at the market by our apartment, I must remember that in the future.
I have often thought about making a "Brrr Basket" as a gift during the winter months. What would I put into it? It would be a basket of cozy things for a cold winter day.
A mug
Hot chocolate mix with marshmallows
Cozy socks
Good book or puzzle
Warm knit gloves
A cozy robe or sweater
Of course, some tea
What would you put in a Brrrr Basket?
My friend that's husband passed away recently, when asked what she needed said "send donuts". Are donuts something that would comfort you? I think I will look for a donut shop near her and send a gift certificate.
My post isn't very beautiful today, but the beauty is in the caring for others. The small things of saying "you are cared for".
Sending love,
Marilyn
