So, I had decided to forego bringing anything, since I wasn't going to eat anything.  I made little recipe books for all the girls here, so they could make the stuff as they like.  (It was my valentine's gift to them all......)   Well, they all say, Jeanne...come join us.  So, I get up from my desk, walk out of my office and plan on joining them because I am stronger than this...right?!?!?!?  YOU BET I AM!!! I turn the corner....and all that is out there is a whole bunch of bottles of Boost.  Everyone was potlucking Boost style.  LOL.  I almost started crying.  They all said that they admired my strength, etc and wanted me to know that they were behind me.  They agreed that this time must be tough and they were sorry for the way they handled it before........ HOW COOL WAS THAT?!!?!??!!?!?!??!   Thanks for all your support....... Jeanne

That was sooo nice.  I can't believe they did that.  I would have been laughing through the tears.

That is great!   What great co-workers!

I think it was sweet of you to make a recipe book for them too.

Have a good day!
