I thought I would finish off this series of posts with some tidbits. The little musings that give thought for meditation. For myself, the friendship has shown me parts of life I hadn't known. Or maybe I just see the same things differently and the friendship highlights that.

Life is. You are born, The duty of the middle aged is to have children. The duty of the children is to learn and have fun. Most importantly enjoy the magic of everything new to them. Even though not new to the rest of us. The duty of the aged is to ensure they have that magic.

On a day.
Helper was here. Tom had time to spare. But there is always a single item here and there that can be restocked. Off they went, getting a can of this and a bottle of that filling the drinks and repeating the motions for different drinks.

Tom was just following Rea.

Rea. Which one? (one being which container the first or second).

Tom. Second.

Rea. Okay now don't tell me.

Rea would walk up and down the container. Shelfs to the right and pallets on the left for storage. Maybe walk up or down twice to find the items. The first few times of getting stock, Rea was shown were Item were, Then it turned to where they on the left or the right. Then only to say which container.

This particular day. What needed doing was done. Only single items mostly could be stocked. In the drinks 2 or 3 of an item could be brought out and this is what they were doing.

Well Rea was doing, Tom was just tagging along, making sure if anything fell or spilled, It was known about and cleaned up.

On the second trip. Rea thought it would be funny to hide on the way back in. She walked out of the storage before Tom while Tom got a few cans of Lucozade.

Clearly, as a sudden thought.
Tom exited the container and seen Rea ducked down and quickened pace obliquely back to the side of the container. Tom just walked past as not knowing and on entering the shop.

Tom. Where'd she go? Then moving sideways to look down the second aisle. The BOO! came from behind and Tom made it look like he nearly let a can drop.

A thing seems to have developed of BOO! at Tom and try scare the granny out of him.

This story has been the highlight of my 2023. Both in my personal life and my blogging. Most everything else I have wrote in several ways. This story has been about interactions I never expected to have.

Through those interactions. Life was seen so much simpler. For myself that is. Those moments removed the turmoil that surrounds us everyday. We no longer even notice it. It has become so common place. The helper played a much bigger role than either could have thought at the time. Maybe one day she will read this story and understand why I liked to make her smile.

That was the Life side of things.
On the blogging side. The writing about meeting and events after have given a deeper insight and in some cases to things I had not considered. The reflection brought by writing about past events have brought deeper insights into the Hive blockchain and its tokens also.

Over all this series of posts had been the most enlightening to myself in a few different ways. All of which bring a positive outlook for possibilities. This is the highlight of my 2023 on the Hive blockchain.
