A Kindness

My friends across the street asked me to play golf yesterday. 

This seemed like a fine idea compared to feeling weird and a bit anxious, so I went.

I played terribly (I need to work on my swing and haven't been motivated to do so), and afterwards, we went to dinner. Just minutes before the food arrived, Eli 22.2 called, and as I particularly wanted to talk to him, so I excused myself and went outside. 

We talked for quite a while, as we do, and by the time I hung up, I realized my dinner was going to be very, very cold. This was fine, except I felt bad for leaving my friends in the lurch for such a long time. I hoped I could get it to go and reheat it at home. 

I walked back in, and as I suspected, I'd been gone long enough for them to finish their meal. Only one of them hadn't. She'd slow-played dinner, and still had over half of her chicken wrap left. 

So I wouldn't be eating alone.

Kindness is more noticeable on certain days than others. Yesterday was a day when I appreciated her more than I could say.
