Just this Monday, I was surprised by a friend of mine when I arrived at the office. He gave me a small Starbucks paper bag, and instantly, I got excited.. hell excited. :)
I hastened to open it up.. lo and behold.. this cute phone charm sent an immaculate smile on my face and sense of happiness throughout the whole day.
He said he gave this to me as a token of appreciation for taking time talking to him when he felt so down and inconspicuously bothered. I said, at that time, I was bothered too.. and a bothered soul only needs another bothered soul for them to share whatever in the universe is quite bothering.. and eventually run away with it with grace and profound wisdom.
It really feels so heart-warming when friends appreciate you. With or without gifts, a simple thought that they appreciate you is more like an extra pump in the heart, making your existence a little more meaningful. :)
JC, this goes out to you.. let's just fight all the negative what-so-ever-it-is.. :) Life's too short, right? Let's beat all those boo-boo's with a happy heart. :)

Hi Debbie! thanks so much for the award. I had sooo much fun doing the tag, it was my first time.. hehe. :)
ReplyDeleteThat was really sweet of him. I do know what you mean, Karla, about being there for your friends, lending an ear and helping them in whatever way certainly gives a satisfying feeling. Having them appreciate it is also lovely. The little unexpected gifts are like icing on the cake. Well, whatever it is, that's what friends are for. We support each other just because!
