The Kindness of a Thoughtful Friend

"Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another."
―Eustace Budgell

I have a friend who does not consider herself a thoughtful person.  The evidence naturally is to the contrary.  Next weekend, I have a big family event, but I am travelling for business and returning the day before.  This afternoon, my friend sent me a photo of a centerpiece that she had seen at a similar event.  She sent the photo not only because I was hosting the same kind of event, but also because the centerpieces were not made from fresh flowers and would be easy for me to do given my travel schedule.  When you are worried about something, it is nice to know that there are friends who are thinking about how to make your life a little easier.
