On Saturday, Michelle came home from work feeling a bit disappointed. A friend had cancelled plans. It was a Saturday evening and (again) she was just going to be at home. It's been a weird year and there have been too many cancelled events and cancelled plans. Michelle took Ella to her friend Liv's house and decided to go to Target to get a couple of things she needed.
While at Target, her friend called and asked if Michelle could come over. Her cute friend was going on her first date that night and she was nervous and wanted Michelle to come give her a "pep talk". So Michelle headed over. Not long after Michelle got there, her friend's date called and cancelled. Her friend was pretty disappointed, so Michelle stayed and they talked and then they headed to the store to do a little shopping together and ended up having a fun time together. I'm sure her friend was still disappointed that the date was cancelled. I'm sure not all of the hurt and sad feelings were gone. But I am so glad that Michelle was available to cheer her friend and be there for her. And I'm glad that a night that started off so sad for Michelle was able to be turned around. I have seen over and over that the best thing to do when I am sad or disappointed or lonely is to find someone else to help or to cheer up. It's hard when you are feeling lonely to reach out to someone else...but it really is such a blessing to do so.
