My therapist once told me I turn crumbs into a cake, a shortcoming for me to address. Like when he visits for a day after committing to two. Or when he sends a heartfelt text to cancel the next trip. But is this such a bad thing? Why not treat every small act of kindness as a meaningful gift? Why not expect little and be surprised when you receive more? Why not be grateful instead of hopeful? Less is more. Grace is amazing. So if and when he brings me a cake, I will radiate even more love and light.
