Her Friend Had A Day Without The Kids, So She Decided To Make It Extra Special


--by KiwiCat, posted Apr 18, 2017
I had a busy day. My best friend had a day to herself without her 3 young kids. She had mentioned that she was feeling overwhelmed by mess and belongings and was going to spend the day tidying up. I dressed for 'work' and arrived with a big smile.

She gave me the biggest hug. I sorted out the linen cupboard, cleaned the kitchen, folded a mountain of laundry, ironed her husband's work shirts and then vacuumed.

As I left, my friend gave me a gift card for $100 to thank me!! It was to my local specialty food store where I no longer shop because of the cost. I think the Universe is looking after me. That's my second food gift in a week!

I also brought gluten free banana muffins over for morning tea :-)
