3 gifts found in women today

1.  A listening ear.  When I needed (or at least wanted) to vent about a frustration, my friend R patiently let me do so. 

2.  A cheerleader.  I've received several messages from friends congratulating me on the success of our big fundraiser event last night.

3.  A tireless assistant.  It's so nice to have friends who will get up early on a Saturday morning to count money from last night's event, then offer to help with the rest of the pain-in-the-neck details.
