There are some marvelous people in the world
I was away from my course for much of last week because of a gut bug. I'm not going to focus on the bug itself, which will come as a surprise to those who know me in person.
Instead, I want to write about the people I am studying with and how wonderful they are.
When it hit, I got all woozy and had to sit down for a bit. The lady I was working with is half my size and she practically carried me up the ramp to the deck where I'd be out of the sun while I recovered, then went and got me a huge drink. While I was sitting there, several people checked on me and asked if there was anything I needed. The tutors all made sure I knew they knew I wasn't shirking and sent me home, after checking I was safe to drive.
After a few days off, I was a little wound up about having missed things and being behind on coursework. When I got back, I was welcomed back with love and concern. They even got me a little sage seedling as a consolation for missing a field trip to the botanic gardens and a working nursery. It was sitting on my desk, happy as larry when I got in this morning.
These people have made the transition from stuck at home to a caring working environment so easy. I never expected to feel such love from relative strangers, but I have found it. I treasure them all and I hope I can do as much for them. I am thankful.
