 I shoveled again, more of the same and buttoned up tight from the wind. He from across the street came by, brushed off my car with a grin. There was a catch, as he cleared his throat. "Computer trouble", said he. Would I download some files onto his disk? I said sure, watching eyes watching me. I completed the task, returning his disk as he waited outside my door. "You're a darling", he said, "do you know?" I replied I've been told that before. It's funny how long it has been since I've heard those words that were given to me, in exchange for a favor, and I smiled to myself, A "darling", I've come to be.

I'm amazed how you can take a moment in your day and write the nicest rhyme about it. Hugs to you 'darling' girl~  |

i'm agreeing with blues serenade, i love the way you described how a seemingly normal task ended up meaning something to you. a darling? look at your photo, youre a fox! how could he resist calling u a darling, at the very least. lots of love gemma xxxxxxxxx learning each day, for you and i, our paths have met, i've already learnt that you are love. |

Dixie, thanks...some may disagree with that. *S M gemma, that's funny. I appreciate the comments but if you knew this neighbor it had nothing to do with my looks...he drinks so much all he probably sees is a blur But it was sweet of him and made me smile even if only inwardly.M Karen, I shovel a lot of that (and it isn't necessarily snow) You should hear what I say with every throw of the shovel...it definitely releases my frustrations Vicky,yes it made me smile too and I will take what I can get when it comes to smiles. hugss M |
