The Power of Words

Today was not a fun one, just generally difficult between logistical crap and work tensions. And then Orson had some event at the campus tonight and Dea was out with her new boyfriend which means that even Philandros wasn’t here to keep me company.

And then I received an email from a high school friend who I haven’t seen in an age. She appears to be doing very well for herself, engaged to her longtime sweetheart, at a job she loves, and that she’s been thinking about me of late and hoping I was doing well. Her closing lines greatly humbled me: “No one should ever feel like they’re alone, especially someone as courageous and talented as you are. I think you are wonderful.”

 It’s magical the way a few kind words can really turn a day around.
