Dear Friends

A couple weeks ago I had 2 MOHS procedures on my face due to skin cancer.

The Doctor was able to clean and clear it out. I was very grateful. I had to wait after each procedure to see if he scraped enough for a clear margin. While waiting, I was talking with his assistant. She asked what book I was reading. I told her, and she was interested so she took a picture of the book in order to purchase it. Shortly, the Dr. came in letting me know I was good to go!

“A simple smile, a thoughtful gesture, a little conversation can help someone feel seen and valued.” (Daily Word)

One week went by and I returned to have the stitches removed. I brought the book with me because I had finished it, and wanted to give it to the assistant, if she hadn’t already purchased it. I had thought about dropping it off a few days earlier, but a little voice inside me said, “Wait until your appointment.”

I checked in at the desk and saw her. I asked, remember the book we talked about last week? I finished it and wondered if you would like to have it. The receptionist said, “It is her birthday today.”

I smiled and said Happy Birthday. She was really surprised by the book. I saw some tears in her eyes. She came to hug me and thank me. I then wondered if anyone else had brought her a gift or thought of her. I told the Dr. later, it was her birthday and he said, “Oh I forgot…” The way he said it made me think he was going to do something for her birthday.

Thursday is World Kindness Day. Listen to the WHISPERS of your heart and bring joy to another person.
