Maggie's Day 337 of Discovering Love in Taking the Time to Listen

It’s late. I haven’t been to bed yet.

No matter what time I go to bed I have to be at school at seven o’clock in the morning. It’s going to be a short night and tomorrow is going to be a long day. Hopefully, I can get a nap.

It would be nice if I had a friend to call so that I could have someone to snuggle up with if I do indeed get the opportunity to take a nap sometime in the next twelve to sixteen hours. Most likely I will not have the opportunity to nap so I will not need to call a friend. Because if that were the case I would be a longtime finding someone with whom I wanted to call.

So, I’m going to let he day unfold as it will.

In the meantime I would love to share with you that I discovered love today in taking the time to hear what someone else needed to say.

It had been a really bad no good rotten day for one of my classmates. More than anything else all they needed to do was to share. So I listened. I felt compassion. Then I listened some more.



I stayed with my classmate for over three hours. Then we walked to our cars and drove to our homes. It was nice little experience to be a part of.

I am so thankful that I no longer allow other people to walk all over me. I am thankful that I don’t know what it’s like to walk in my classmate’s shoes. I’m also thankful that a classmate gave me the opportunity to put his shoes in my artwork.

Sweet Dreams to you and all those who wear shoes or know someone who does! Maggie

How did you discover love today?
