Sweet Ending To Monday

--by cabbage, posted May 3, 2025

Saw a girl scout selling cookies while I was walking outside on campus and thought that their customer at the time looked (from far away) like a former student of mine...so I ran up with a big smile and greeted her and said "your cookies are my treat!- don't. pay!" The girl scout's mom said she was so happy to see the "smiling lady" coming :-) and then I bought two more boxes to give away to neighbors! It was a sweet ending to the day because then the former student and I also got to chat and catch up--she is now a Master's student in our department!

Also wrote a letter of rec for a current student who is applying for a scholarship--hope she gets it!

And got to give lots of hugs to a friend who is traveling to another country to visit a sick relative.

Putting together a photo surprise from a loved one...it's taking a lot of time, but will be so exciting to see them receive it. Going through old photos also makes me count my blessings and feel so much gratitude for this life journey.
