I hear she's traveling back to my neighborhood this morning, so I throw out a challenge. I kindly ask her to bring me home some of these mythic bagels so I can see what all the hoopla is about.
Two minutes ago, I walk into my kitchen and find a bag of New Jersey bagels (she sneaks them inside!). She delivers them the same day they were made.
I have to admit they do look rather yummy.

Doubtful, I tear into the first one.
I stop everything. I call my husband and children into the kitchen to taste these bagels. I even have to take a picture.
I'll never be able to settle for less now that I know the real thing exists out there in New Jersey. And I'll expect more now that I know how good they could be.
It's a good lesson for me to remember: I won't settle for less when I encounter the best there is. And true friends remind you of the difference between the good and the great. True friends help you experience the more that life can be.
