In addition to a very beautiful day; for some reason amazing karma followed me wherever I went. After a consult meeting in the area I stopped to visit a kind friend who died 2 months ago.
I'm sure many of you have been in similar situations: where in the sadness of a moment you think you know where you are; but weeks later when you return, you can't find where you were at all.
Such was the case today. But it wasn't just the many souls there who seemed to be looking out for me.
A wonderful woman in the business office steered me in the right direction. And when I walked back and forth and back and forth with my miniature map in hand, pulling 4 inch heels out of the grass, not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 cemetery workers came to help me find the grave site I had been sweating, looking for. It took all 5 of us at least 25 minutes.
Maybe I looked sad. Maybe they knew I wouldn't leave til I found him. As I thanked them for their help, even though they all looked like they could have used a Gatorade, they all smiled and said, "That's what we're here for".
