You got a friend.....

The singer, "James Taylor" has always been a favorite of mine. He wrote a song back in the 70"s titled, "You Got A Friend". That song has stuck with me ever since I sung it at camp one year for talent show night.
Being a small business owner in a small town gets to be a challenge with the economy these days. Some days it's a struggle just to keep your chin above water. This week has been no exception, it's been a challenge.
I have been blessed with a couple of girlfriends that are angels and their friendship is priceless. One of my angles had a feeling she just had to call me. We spent better part of an hour and half on the phone just talking and her trying to lift my spirits. At one time she too owned a business so she knows what I go through. The next day she came into the store all bubbly bearing gifts. She states that these are pick me up gifts--guaranteed to make you smile. One of the gifts was a daily desk calendar with daily verses. The verse for that day was....
***If there is a lesson in life to be learned from a trying
experience, it is: Don't let the problems that are
out of your control get to you. Instead of panicking,
look at the humorous side. Every woman should
attempt to do this, no matter how stressed out she is.
We have to take life in stride, one step at a time. As
long as we can laugh and stop treating difficulties
as disasters, everything will be just fine.
Life has a way of placing things where they need to be on a day when you need them!!
