I'll be your friend, Tracey! I am the kind of friend that friends can call for a ride to the airport. I have filled that role myself many times. A couple of years ago a good friend asked if I could pick him up at LAX at 10:30 pm on a Wednesday, drive him to Phoenix where he had a job starting at 8 am on Thursday, work the all-day job with him, and then drop him off at the Phoenix airport. I said "sounds like fun" and the game was on.

I also have friends who I can call on when I find myself in need. It's a good place to be, but it takes some time to accumulate those friends. When you find them, treasure them and handle them with care!
