I’ve seen clients today ( don’t worry I’ve rested my arm) and got home to an Easter Egg wrapped carefully in tissue paper.
The accompanying card and letter was from Mrs Trellis who thanked me for the amaryllis plant I had given her last Christmas.
( I actually gave her the plant at Christmas 2023 but whose counting)
What a kind and yummy way for the delightful Mrs. Trellis to thank you for your gift to her.
ReplyDeleteDoes seeing clients mean you're not taking time off from that in addition to not working at hospice for two weeks? I realize that talking to folks is not anywhere near as demanding physically as nursing, especially in the hospice setting, but still .... mind what you do, okay?
Hugs!
I hear you, but it would be unfair not to carry on with my 5 clients , especially as some were at critical and pivotal positions in therapy.
DeletePhysically my arm and shoulder was rested
Your clients are fortunate to have you as their counselor, John. May they each find peace.
DeleteHugs!
Amen
DeleteWhat a lovely lady Mrs Trellis is, you are truly blessed with supportive neighbours John. Take care of yourself and sending positive vibes for a good outcome and treatment of your hand 🙏. Jan in Castle Gresley
ReplyDeleteShe’s a darling
DeleteAnother example of your charming village. Glad you have taken some time off and also resting your arm while still counseling.
ReplyDeleteI’m not foolish, I know I need to rest which I will
DeleteRegardless of the circumstances... its nice when someone thinks of you... Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteIsn’t it just
DeleteYou are truly loved by many, John. Kindness begets kindness. Just don't let that chocolate scupper your diet and send your blood glucose haywire. A small piece with your coffee should be OK. 🥚😋 xx
ReplyDeleteI will donate ( with regret) the egg to a friend who deserves it
DeleteSmart to enjoy the egg in its picture and pass it on quick before you are tempted!
DeleteHave a good holiday weekend!

A very nice gift...and good choice of egg...
ReplyDeleteAnd painful for a diabetic

She’s a one off
DeleteOh, how sweet. In every way.
ReplyDeleteTimely
DeleteMrs. Trellis is such a lovely lady. Wishing you a quiet and restful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI’m having a quiet one writing
DeleteMrs Trellis has shown all of us that it is always appropriate and never too late to say thank you for a kindness, especially a kindness that has lodged in our memory. We should all learn from her example.

She is a gentle soul
DeleteCutie choc! A unicorn. Is it hard to drive w weak arm? What about writing, note taking? sending hug
ReplyDeletelizzy
No I can change gears with left hand
Delete“What a kind man you are” That card will undoubtedly go into your collection of cards and notes from others that express how much you are respected and loved.
ReplyDeleteMrs.Trellis should be called Mrs.Treasure. Hope you’re doing well!
ReplyDeleteMrs. Trellis is keeping an eye on you. Good for her. Somebody needs to keep you in line!
ReplyDeleteDialing back on the workload for 2 weeks is a good idea. I guess talking with clients is okay. Take care John.
Happy Easter John ..from us here in Windsor Ontario Canada.
ReplyDeleteAm glad you are resting ..your body needs it love x
What a treasure she is! Just makes a person's day by being kind, thoughtful and loving.
ReplyDeleteI wish every village and inhabitants could be as lovely as yours John. The world would be a kinder place.
ReplyDeleteJean.
Mrs Trellis is a darling. What a kind thing to do; but I suspect not unexpected from her.
ReplyDeleteSweetness responding to sweetness.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable unicorn Easter egg! Well done, Mrs Trellis! Obviously she saw it and was immediately reminded of you!
ReplyDeleteMrs. Trellis has been a part of your blogging for a long time - always saying or doing some small kindness. A lot of us could take a page from her book; it would make the world better.
ReplyDeleteA sweet touch! Now I know you have to rest your arm, so I can come give you a sponge bath dear if you need assistance. Let me know, I'll catch a Redeye......
ReplyDeleteGreat gift worth the wait.
ReplyDeleteShe has the gift of kindness herself.
ReplyDeleteMrs Trellis's handwriting style is rather like that of a teenage girl which I find quite, how shall I say this, stimulating!
ReplyDeleteYou are a great member of the community.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Trellis is a good egg as are you, John. Gigi
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of her! I'm glad you are taking care of yourself and your patients. xo
