Daily Question, October 4

Who is a “hidden gem” I have met recently?

  • Mary Pat
    I have been writing a Gardening Tips article during the season for a Colorado Master Gardener with CSU Extension letter that goes out once a week, and this past season, because of surgeries, I have had to get some help. One of the women that helped out is a real gem. Joanne is always on time with her articles, and does her research. I don't have to correct a thing! She has been a real help this past season, and she is willing to continue to help next year. It is really nice to have someone to ...

    Recently? No one, actually. With Covid still blazing about, I’ve kept close to the circle of friends and family within my usual orbit. However, I am blessed with so-called “hidden gems” whom have been in my life for many years and counting.

      Exactly, I am in Melbourne, world’s longest lockdown. I manage through programs I create online, through emails, messages, etc. But it is NOT the same as in real life. And as with you, so many incredible people in my life throughout the years. Some are still alive, and we remain very close. I am blessed. It’s enough.

She was invited to play an Iranian musical instrument, the "Santur". It turned out that she only lives 1 minute away from me. We had to drive an hour to the other city. The hour flew by. Our conversation was so beautiful and intense. She made impressively beautiful music on her santur during the celebration. On the way back we were so happy that we...

    The hour flew by. Our conversation was so beautiful and intense.
    She made impressively beautiful music on her santur during the celebration.
    On the way back we were so happy that we could talk again for an hour. We also agreed that we would like to try the combination of santur and piano. And…… she also wants to make Iranian meals for me.
    Yesterday was a very special day because of this encounter with a beautiful soul.💕

      Very happy for you to have had this experience and met a new friend:) I love learning about different cultures and can feel your excitement.

      Thank you, Christine, for sharing this encounter. And I am excited for both of you to explore the Santur and piano together. (And now I must research what a Santur is!!)

    • Mary Pat

      How wonderful! I am so happy you found each other…..

        Thank you Mary Pat. Yesterday, there was the language of the soul, the language of music and, we both not native english speakers, understood each other very good in the english language.
