Life is like a Coin...

So today while I cruising face book I read a status that kind of struck a cord in me.

"LIFE IS LIKE A COIN, YOU ONLY GET TO SPEND IT ONCE"

I never really thought of life that way, until today. I thought about all of my clients, friends, and family and thought if today was the "last" day how would you spend your coin? I know I would be with my family, hands down! Good company, Good food, Great wine, Many laughs.

Today I spent my coin cooking, home made soups, meatballs, and pasta sauce for a friend that is about to start Cancer Treatments. I am not sure if she will even be able to eat it, but I know her husband will be able too. Good food is such a comfort for people, when you are too tired to cook. To have something that is ready, healthy and all you had to do is heat it, is a life saver.

I am not very good at saying things to people, that need to be said. You know in case your coins get spent faster then you thought they would. But this person is AMAZING. Always smiling, laughing and doing special little things for people. When I was having my son, I was SICK!!!! SICK all day long, for the whole 9 months. She came to her hair appointment with the thickest, biggest handmade blanket that I have ever seen. In my house colours, she had called my mom to ask her what colour I would like. It is people like her that make me want to be crafty! BUT I am not, so I pay it forward from my kitchen. In the grande scheme of things I know my cooking is not going to save the world, but I do hope that it spreads a little smile to the person that made me smile 7 years ago.
