"I had given some children a Halloween treat; no response. I had taken a neighbor some home-made items; no response. My long-time friend became unfriendly and didn't want to interact with me any more. Another friend told me she didn't have time to even go to lunch over the next few weeks.
"I was at a very very low point, sort of feeling sorry for myself and certainly not appreciated.

"It was a very significant moment," she told me in reverence.
I went away reflective and grateful.
