Mother to Mother - "just because..."

Sometimes moms need support from other moms. Maybe you have a friend who is a single mom, or struggling with an illness, or recently lost someone. Maybe you have a friend who is constantly giving to other people and needs a reminder that she is worthy to be cared for.

A small gift bag with chocolates, a scented candle, lotion and a perhaps a magazine is a good way to tell someone; "I'm thinking about you".

Years ago, a friend dropped a bag filled with these items at my door with a note saying; "just because...". It meant so much that someone was thinking of me.

I have found that in the busyness of life I often don't do anything for someone in need because I don't have time to make or buy things. Now I have several bags filled with these items in my closet ready for me to grab and give to someone who could use a little pick-me-up just because.
