She's like that...

I have a friend. Her name is Cathy.

I have been blessed by her thoughtfulness many times. The first Mother's Day that my mom spent at a nursing home, Cathy brought me flowers and a note that was not only kind but insightful and wise.

She is like that. Insightful and wise.

When I was with her the other day she said to me,

"It is always better to act more gracious than you feel."

Hmmm.

"You will have to apologize much less in your lifetime."

Oh, she's smart!

I'm sure I should apologize more than I do and I don't want to have to apologize as much as I should. So I'm going to try and save myself some guilt (I've got plenty. I could use a break) and try my hand at gracious living.

Cathy is a master teacher, much like my mother.

I think Cathy and my Mom would be great friends.
