It’s a simple one. Yesterday, early in the morning, I came down with an unfortunate gastrointestinal bug! It knocked me out, and kept me from going to the fun event that I had planned with my friend. Undeterred, she still went, but she picked up a Covid rapid- test on her way home, and left it on my doorstep. These days, even the slightest illness can raise the question “Is it Covid?!” The test was negative – thank goodness! But I am so grateful to my sweet friend for thinking of me, and covering all the bases! (She would have picked up chicken soup, too, had I asked.) Great friends are such a blessing.
