The handwritten note my friend Kathleen added to my card touched me deeply. "You bring so many people joy all year. Enjoy the season for yourself."
I admire Kathleen so. She's gone further in her career than I have in mine. Her kids are growing into happy, contributing members of society. Her husband is a complex, challenging (in a good way) man. She's tall and long-limbed. She even teaches Sunday School!
Her life seems so complete and challenging (in a good way), that I didn't realize how much I meant to her, or how I appear through her eyes.
This made my day.
Those kinds of nice "out of the blue" things are awesome, aren't they?? I love getting stuff like that. YEY for your friend.
