Today I had a coffee catch up scheduled with a long time friend. Not one of those friends I've spent a heap of time with but definitely one of those you don't need heaps of time with to feel like a friend, and to feel like you matter . She has a smile that brings the sun into the room.

I said 'scheduled' because I failed to manage my time well enough to make it AND I called her after it started to tell her my struggle rather than beforehand.

What did she do? After I felt the sunshine through the phone, she said 'no problem at all, make sure you get downtown though because I've bought you a coffee.

Thank you Claire, for helping me feel like I matter, not just in my best moments.
