We have a staff meeting today. Last month, Sr. Mario said she would cook us all something nice for lunch. When I offered to bring something she suggested I bring a salad. Super, I thought. I can do salad. When I woke up this morning, I was baffled. What was I thinking? I can't make salad! I can barely feed myself, can you imagine me preparing food for other people?
Luckily, there's a Whole Foods market a few blocks from my house so I waddled in and agonized over which type of salad I would bring.... oh, decisions, decisions... But I'm grateful that this is all I'm worrying about at 9 in the morning.
And then, a familiar face, a warm greeting, and a "wait, aren't you supposed to be in school?" Even though it was a teeny little moment in the morning, it was significant and powerful for me. We talk a lot about being connected to each other and all that, but when you have moments like this one, that take you away from yourself, you become grateful for the experience and recognize just how sly God is.
