A bright spot

[kathleen_dailey]

It's been a somewhat fraught weekend, what with taking a friend to the emergency room and trying to make contact with another friend who's been incommunicado for a worryingly long while. I had to fit in a quick trip to a grocery store for necessities, and the very busy cashier took a moment to wish me a happy Women's Day. I wished her the same, and the smile (equivalent to a hug) that we exchanged left me feeling immensely uplifted. Thank you, kind stranger, for that gift.
