While I am in the midst of a year end crisis at work, a friend sends me a note about a potential opportunity she has and she wanted to know if I had time to chat. The first thought that popped into my head was "HECK NO... I am drowning in a major crisis!" I think I might have even put my face right into my palms.
Somewhere while I was sitting there taking deep breaths and thinking "now what", a little voice inside me was sayin
g, "do the kind thing and call her." So, I set aside my issue, got a fresh glass of water and called my friend. She was so glad to talk through the opportunity that she was facing. She knew what to do but she just needed someone to listen.
What I discovered was that I needed some grounding and this connection with my friend did just that. So my kindness for the day was also my gratitude. I am so thankful for my friend and so thankful to the little voice inside that said "call her, your problem will still be here when you get off the phone!" Amazingly, things seemed to be a little easier to handle after the call!
