"A cheerful heart is good medicine..." ~ Proverbs 17:22
This morning I was deeply blessed by a dear friend. She came over to show her sweet love to my children and myself by sending me out for a few hours -- by myself as she took wonderful care of my children. She is indeed a beautiful woman with a cheerful and loving heart!
When she arrived, I was able to take a nice long shower (a true luxury!) then head off to the library (one of my favorite places in the whole world) where I had a great time sitting in a comfy rocking chair next to a huge picture window and just read -- BY MYSELF! After a relaxing time reading I headed to Starbucks where I was pleasantly surprised by a graciously offered a special shot of coffee "on the house"! LOVE that!
As I came home and walked in the door, very refreshed, I might add, my kids had just been fed lunch and were VERY happy! If you need an image of their happiness see the pics in the blog below! :)
The cherry on the top was when my sweet friend took time to affirm me as a mom! My love language is encouragement, so this was SO special to me! Her words will carry me for miles!
Not only was I lifted up and encouraged, my children were too after spending some time being loved and cared for by this beautiful friend. It does not get better than that!
Maureen, you win the "Bloom Where You Are Planted" Award! Thank you for blessing us with your cheerful and loving heart! You are the best!!

Have a lovely weekend!
Wow, that is so neat! What a loving friend you have. It is so hard sometimes to acknowledge that we need to do things for ourselves. I am glad that you took the opportunity and really had some great "Me" time!
JA- a well deserved break for you! I am glad you have a special friend like her!
How awesome to be blessed with such great friends! I'm glad you got some time to yourself... we all need it and DESERVE it :)
