Today I was at a friends house when her daughter fell ill. Suspected appendicitis turned out to be a virus but I was so glad to be able to help her out. While I thought nothing of carrying her daughter down three flights of stairs and into the car or sitting with her head on my lap while her mum had lunch she (and her mum) clearly thought I had done something extraordinary. The kids and I took her brother home with us for dinner and to stay the night.
I didn't think twice about doing what I did but I am deeply touched by the heartfelt thanks and sincere compliments. I feel blessed to have such a wonderful friend. I choose to dedicate more time to those people that appreciate what I do in preference to those who don't think about me unless I am directly in front of them.
