In my work day, many people come in and out of my office
space. Sometimes, people comment on one of my plants, the photograph of my
family members or the open space. In the give and take of my seven hours, I am
rarely surprised. People come in all varieties and are all unique and have their
special needs. They range from the fully engaged and the fringe, the curious and
the indifferent.
Today, someone noticed a small cast iron frog that I have
on my table. My prosperity frog, I laughed. She said that she collected
frogs, and asked if she could have it! Now that surprised me. To say that I was
shocked was a bit of an understatement. Because, truly, I had only just known
this person for 10 minutes. We were far from friends! Perhaps she misunderstood
my shock for hesitation, so she asked again.
As I gathered my wits, I noticed that the small magnetic
heart that always sat jauntily on top of the frog was gone…so I said so. She
continued smiling.
And that is how I lost my heart this morning. She
apparently needed a “kiss” from a frog.
