Gift

Shortly after I arrived at work this morning, the school nurse, Lisa, showed up at my desk and sat a gift bag down in front of me. 

"Mrs. Barlow, it's going to be cold today. I brought you this to help keep you warm."


A beautiful insulated mug and cocoa mix--for no reason at all except friendship and kindness!  I was touched.

Everyone there loves you and it shows! Those office women just have their own problems and it will come back and bite them eventually. That was a most thoughtful gift!
