I was brought to tears tonight.
I'm not a big crier, as I hate to cry either alone or in front of people -- I really have to be hurt deeply to cry at all, let alone in front of anyone. I'd rather drop a cement block on my toe than cry in front of people.
Tonight though, I did cry.
I picked up my mail from yesterday after I returned home from a totally delicious dinner at Mary and Lee's house. I wandered into the house, sorting it, then happened to notice an envelope from my alma mater, Cottey College.
Last week I'd received notification that I'd been appointed to the alumnae board for Cottey. I posted this on Facebook and a friend of mine suggested that my P.E.O. friends, as well as classmates, make a donation to Cottey in my honor.
She did so. The notice I received today was notification that she had done that.
I am honored, flattered, amazed and just overwhelmed by the kindness. What An Honor.
