On my first day home from the hospital a co-worker had someone deliver a gift bag filled with baby food. I laughed so hard I almost bust a stitch yet I never looked at the flavors. Yesterday a friend brought over a plate of Thanksgiving food and we got to talking. I showed him the gift bag and started to bring the jars out of the bag and noticed they were in Thanksgiving flavors like turkey, squash and sweet potatoes! I laughed so hard it literally hurt!!!

God has blessed me with some amazing friends who are taking great care of me. I am an extremely generous person however, I don’t easily accept generosity. Maybe it is a trust issue because I am so independent having raised myself off the streets of Los Angeles, or maybe because I have been burnt so many times by people! Nevertheless, this has been a great learning experience for me because without a helping hand my recovery from surgery would be much more difficult!

By the way, there is a gorgeous married couple who brought me my favorite Starbucks drink yesterday!!! I will be forever grateful!
