Giving attention
My friend's 67th birthday is Tuesday. She's so nice to people yet has been taken advantage of, ignored, and talked down to, due to her physical disability. I spent a few hours with her and I didn't feel like I was doing a good deed, I felt like I was with my friend. Last year I got her an ice cream cake that her friend enjoyed like it was the best thing he ever tasted. But this year I got her a cute musical card and a sweater. Periodically I brought her clothes that I didn't want this year it was a purple sweater that was really pretty on the store rack. She totally deserved something new even if she doesn't wear it. Then I took her to McDonald's for her favorite drink. She thanked me a lot and I drove home. Eventually I will bring her one of the 3 puzzles I have that I didn't open. Then I will spray it so it can be framed on her wall. It will be a fun ongoing project.
