Things that Matter

Today, Dana Phelps, a librarian at the North Berkeley Library in Spring Mills, gave me a little aloe vera plant in a terra cotta planter.

She previously, and unbeknownst to me, had heard me comment that I wished that I had an aloe vera plant in my home, to use on burns and such.

It's kindnesses such as hers as well as the thoughtfulness of many others that make my life so much sweeter.
