Not so long ago, I encountered a nice lady at the grocery store. She was
leaving the building, leaning heavily on her cane and the railing by
the door. I asked if I could help and she let me! The young person that
was helping her with her grocery cart had gone ahead with the cart and
her second cane, she was not able to walk with only one. So we walked to
her car together and she shared some of her story with me. She is a
very funny lady and had some interesting comments about aging that I
won't share in this family friendly environment. I have thought of her
often in the last little while and today I saw her again. She invited me
to have coffee with her after we finished her shopping. She continues
to have a smile on her face while she looks forward to a cortisone shot
tomorrow to help relieve the constant pain she is in from her getting
worse by the minute hip! She has one new hip and will hopefully have
another one soon. I hope that I can always find something to smile
about, regardless of what is happening in my life.
I think I made a new friend - thank you Silent River Kung Fu!
