It it DEFINITELY the Thought That Counts!

Skinny Girl popcorn, gluten free Chex mix, gift card to Trader Joe's, and gluten free pasta!  What do they all have in common?  They were all thoughtful gifts I received this year for Christmas!  It is amazing how many people are starting to become educated about my Celiac Disease and more aware of what it means for me to be gluten free.  They have discussed with me the ups and downs of my disease and then have, one way or another, thought about how they can make my life easier!  For example, they buy gluten free noodles just in case I win their recipe at the staff party or they research gluten free recipes and then bake me gluten free snacks instead of giving me their normal gluten filled homemade goodies!  I cannot express how much joy this gives me!  When I receive a gluten free present, it definitely puts a new meaning to the idea that "it is the thought that counts"! Thank you to all who have at some time or another thought of a way to show your understanding and support of my disease and gluten free diet!  I will forever be grateful and remember your effort and kindness!
