Two dear friends of mine are in rough patches, and all I can do is listen – trying to let them know I care.
One has problems at work. Co-workers are undermining themselves and each other, causing problems for the whole office. My friend isn’t in a position to do anything definitive and has to not only continue to work with these people, but also try to get them to work together, try to keep them from fighting when possible customers enter the office, and try to keep from pulling her hair out. Bad situation, and I can’t think of any reasonable thing to even suggest. :0)
Another friend has family problems. She is normally a really funny, devil-may-care, enthusiastic person, but family problems have made her quiet and sad. I’ve reminded her that I’m here, that I can listen, and that I care about her, but I’m frustrated that I can’t wave a magic wand and ‘fix’ things. I hate to see her hurting.
I’ll keep thinking about things. I’ll hope to hear from them, and reach out again if I don’t. I know that they would both help me if I had a problem. I’m lucky to have both of these ladies as good friends. I hope I can figure out something I can do…

I got the extra package of horseshoes from Michael when he cut my hair this afternoon.
I brought them home and my husband and I got busy, trying to finish the project.
This picture gives you the best idea of what we did. The difference is that our tree is larger, having 5 horseshoes across the bottom of the tree, instead of the 4 you see here. We also put a straight piece on top of the top horseshoe so that Michael could put a star ornament on the top.
We took it right to him when we finished. I didn’t even get to take a picture of it with my phone!
The look on Michael’s face when we brought it into his shop was a joy for us. He really seemed pleased with the finished product. He’s such a nice person and takes such good care of both of us, it felt good to be able to give him a small ‘thank you.’
I wish we could take credit for the design. We found a number of clever ideas on the net. There are a lot of creative people out there!
