The subject of this post has been the title of my reading/friends page for a long, long time because it is true.

When I met Aspen for lunch today, I saw her carrying a huge pot of lavender, and I thought, "Wow, somewhere near here must have plants for sale, since I know Aspen's been doing lots of yard work, that must be something she just bought."

But then she said it was mine, and she gave me the Tattered Cover card and gift certificate and told me about the massage, and I cried. I couldn't help it. They were good tears, and they are coming on again now, because I am so grateful to have such good friends. The past two weeks have been full of sadness for me, and sometimes (due to valid annnnnd not-so-valid reasons on both my and Mr. Viv's parts), I don't get the all emotional support I need at home. Or not in ways that are demonstrable.

To know I have a support group out there who cares about me enough to make this gesture means a lot to me. And now I am crying even harder, but you know what? That's okay.

Thank you so very, very much.
