This past Thursday evening, my downtown diva group and I descended upon a friend's house. It wasn't for a dinner, or party- or any social event at all. We all got together to scrub, dust, polish, mop, unpack, and vacuum.
You see our friend had been living under construction and it's dust and dirt for over six weeks. She was having her 1890 (give or take) outdated kitchen completely gutted and updated to modern sleek chrome and granite newness.
Construction had ended January 31st. And on top of that - she had two guests arriving the next day. What was our dear friend- who works full time - to do? She was stressed out and in a panic. So our group of friends decided to make her house spotless with Girl Power- before her guests arrived.
We- the five or six or of us (even my husband and son stopped by for while between evening sports practices- to help) It was amazing how much can get done too. We all did our magic- what was once a house full of boxes, dust, and chaos - became five hours later- an organized spotless clean "new" old house.
It always feels good to help- and this time it felt even better because it meant so much to her. Our friend was so relieved to have her house clean and back in order too. That felt good to make her feel good.

I think this should be (and is) in my gratitude journal. What a fabulous gift you all gave me of your time and cleaning/organizational talents. I will never forget it and never be able to express fully what it meant to me. Thanks you again my dear friend Lois and thanks to the rest of my diva friends. I don't think a day goes by that I don't feel grateful that you all are part of my life. Pat.
