I met with Sadie today for lunch. I had not seen her in a while and was beginning to miss our time together. We ate at a very cute little bistro downtown. It was later in the day so we managed to miss the lunch rush, which was very refreshing.
She had once purposed the idea of me donating my fully restored house to a foundation to use as an office, or a home for the less fortunate. At first I thought this idea was lacking in any forethought. Seriously, who would be willing to spend time and energy to make something new just to give it away. At the time, it was beyond me. But I think that the more time I spend with Sadie, the more her caring ways are beginning to rub off on me. I am actually considering giving my house away when it is completed. I don't know to whom or for what purpose, but it is in the back of my thoughts.
Sadie is the kind of person that I could spend hours talking to and still have a great deal to say. She is very opinionated and freely speaks her mind. It can be somewhat abrupt at times, but refreshing to say the least. I never feel as though I am hearing one thing but being presented with another. This is what I find most challenging in people these days. No one is capable of saying what they actually mean. It is as if they are afraid to hear the truth spoken aloud. I wish more people where like Sadie. The world would be a very different place...
