Friendship
February 22nd, 2007
There are times when things just get to you, KWIM? You know they shouldn’t – logically speaking – but they do anyway. Last night was one of those times for me. My feelings were hurt and it was just a really rough evening. But it is in those times that friendships really have a chance to shine. I got several supportive phone calls as well as private messages over at SplitCoastStampers. And this morning I woke up to even more support from my “computer friends”. I know it’s hard for some people to understand how I could have “real friends” through the internet, but wow…I could go on and on about the friendships I have been blessed with.
Anyway, I went to work feeling a lot better and determined not to focus on the negative when there are so many wonderful friends to focus on. Boy was I shocked when a man walked into our office this afternoon with one of the most beautiful (and very “me” ) bouquets I have ever seen. I could hardly wait to open that little envelope to read the card…and it said “Hugs from your friends”. Ummmm….WOW! I still haven’t figured out exactly which friend(s) sent the flowers, although I have some suspicions. And I really haven’t figured out how they knew my address at work (but that’s a whole other issue – LOL). So…anybody wanna ‘fess up? Thank You Thank You for such a wonderful surprise! I was/am truly BLOWN AWAY!!! And of course I’d love to know who you are!
What can you do today…even some very small thing…to make someone smile, make someone feel loved, make someone feel a little better about something…what unexpected thing can you do today to let someone know you are so glad to be their friend?
