Anyway, Deb, what you are doing is wonderful! .-= Lance's last post... <a href="http://www.jungleoflife.com/2010/03/03/raoka-passion/" rel="nofollow">RAOKA: Passion</a> =-. Deb,

I can't even count the number of times you've done this for me. The little push out of my comfort zone that was necessary to help me reach the next level, the way you always seem to somehow know when to ping me when I'm having a less-than-great day and brighten me up, the way you always seem to know exactly what I need to hear when I need advice or when I'm going through difficult times. It's not material things that matter... not nearly so much as it is the little things like these. Being there. Being a friend. Making sure someone knows that you care about them. Showing someone that you appreciate them. Those are the things that, as insignificant as they may sound, and as easy as they may be on your end, can change lives. And you have done these things so many times for me... half the time I wonder if you even realize you're doing it. I suspect sometimes you have no idea how much you've changed my life, and surely others as well, with the little kindnesses you give. :) This is so very true, Deb.
