I had a brisk walk to a social mission tonight knowing that I’d have a nice cuppa and a chat, and how nice to be in daylight . It was a harder mission than on previous visits as my host was not feeling good in herself. She wanted the company but didn’t feel much like talking. But just being there for her and sharing my own news from the week drew her into conversation. And she decided that I deserved a nice cup of tea before my walk home in the dark and cold.
