Today a friend took me to lunch as a birthday present. We went to a favorite German restaurant. The place was very busy and we were seated in a cozy booth in the lower level. I didn’t even know there was a lower level as I had always been there with my mom who wasn’t able to take the stairs. My friend had never been down there either, so it was a new experience for both of us. We both ate only half our meal as we wanted to save plenty of room for black forest cake. At the restaurant, we talked and laughed and lamented and reminisced. We actually stayed so long that we were the only ones left in the area and the wait staff came by to make sure we were alright. When we left we committed to going back in January for my friend’s birthday. I am so grateful for our friendship. She brought her leftovers home to her mom and made her very happy. I plan on making myself happy by enjoying the food again tomorrow.

I Found God today in great food and wonderful friend.
