Potted sunshine

Potted sunshine brightened my mood as I arrived at my desk Tuesday morning. Dawn, the Christian ed director, dropped the plant off the day after I had told co-workers I'd gotten my first "B". In contrast a couple years ago when Mom died, I received just one card, nothing more. The only difference between now and then is the intensity of the pain and the companions I keep. How much easier the grieving would have been with friends like I have now.
