Great breakfast and conversation at Olga's...you probably are getting tired of hearing this but that's what happened.
I went to a meeting a 9 with only 4 people. Great, great meeting, then we hung around for a hour for more casual talk. A real hoot with some wonderful people.
As I was riding back, about 8 blocks down hill out of town, I saw one of my fell thespians in our play. We stood around and talked for a half hour, then she asked if I wanted to have some coffee.
I really didn't...it was time to get home. And, I had to walk my bike back up hill 8 blocks. But, something told me it would be a act of kindness to join her. She has been struggling to re-assimilate into the community after being away for 8 months.
It is amazing what can change in a few months.
She lost her place to stay that plugged her into a big group of friends. Without this, she was challenged by renewing friendships.
It was no hardship to talk to her because she has lead an amazing life. She lived on a 100 foot boat for 5 years, toured Costa Rica and Honduras on a bicycle, to mention a few things.
Granted I got home later than I wanted, missed the heavy rain by only 5 minutes, but it was was worth it.
We all need a little help from time to time, don't you think?
