On Thoughtfulness



True friends think beyond the quick visit, the hurried hello, and the average gift. This Thanksgiving, Peggy T. brought Mom two reindeer tea candles with tiny electric tea lights so she could enjoy candlelight around her oxygen. After decorating the bistro bedroom with a tabletop tree, red tablecloth and other decorations, it's still the tealights that bring a smile to Mom's face. She is amazed that someone took the time to understand the importance of the simple details that might be missed by the bedroom-bound. Every night, we turn on the tiny candles. They remind her that she was not only on someone's mind but in someone's heart.
