Small things make all the difference

I just got off the phone with one of my best friends. We talked for 2 and 1/2 hours. As always, it was great. She lives on the other side of the country from me, so I only see her maybe once a year. Thank goodness for the phone cuz I would be so lost without being able to talk to her. Actually talk, almost as good as if we didn't live on opposite sides of the nation.

Since I have been riding my bike more, one of my best friends has been giving me and my bike rides home when it is super late or super dark or when I am super tired. I don't even have to ask, he just does it. He puts his bike rack on his car, loads my bike up for me, takes me home, takes my bike off the rack, and even sometimes walks my bike into my garage! I just am amazed at how nice he is to me and I think how lucky am I to have someone in my life who will do something like this for me. It makes my day. Every time.

One of my friends from work brought Special K bars to work today that were 'me' friendly. No dairy. Yesterday we were talking about how I have never tasted these Special K bars that one of the nurses brings in because of my allergies and so they went home and made some that I could have. Today I tasted my first Special K bar, made special just for me! And they were so good!! So nice!!! It is not the easiest thing in the world to make food that I can eat and I am always so impressed that people will put that much work into making sure that I can eat something!
