I just got out of the shower at the Y today, and my friend, Mary, came up to me and said, "I've been looking for you! Do you remember when I put lotion on your back a couple of weeks ago? Today is my turn!"
Tell you what - dry skin is the number one locker room complaint at the Y and having Mary put lotion on my back two weeks was absolutely wonderful! We're not sure if it's the chlorine or the weather or a combination of both. So I put lotion on her back and she put lotion on my back and then she turned to the eighty-something year old lady who was standing between us and said, "Can I put lotion on your back?" The smile and just happy "yes!" made it all worth it.
So today I am thankful for friends who put lotion on my back so that my first words to my daughter and husband when they get home are NOT, "Will you scratch my back?"
