This bouquet of chocolate covered strawberries and balloon showed up at my door yesterday. It seriously made my day. It was a gift from a friend. This is what I do for her that made her think that she should send me this awesome gift:
I get up about 30 minutes earlier than normal 2 days a week.
I drive less than a mile to her house.
I sit in the peace and quiet while her children sleep and she goes to work for an hour.
I knit.
I read the Ensign.
I lay down on her couch.
I don't have to get Caleb ready for school (thanks, Carl!).
I enjoy the silence.
I try to let her know what a great joy it is for me to do this. I kind of feel like she's the one doing me the favor. I accept the gift knowing that she appreciates my "sacrifice" and I just say, "You're welcome".

I wish I could make that kind of sacrifice for someone.
