The Kindness of Comic Relief

"I'm sort of the comic relief after a hard day at work.  My message is that it's OK to relax."
― Larry King

Last month, I wrote about a woman who took great delight in painting her toes a novel shade of blue and texting her friends a photo of her happy feet.  Fast forward a couple of weeks:  This woman was on a conference call at her new job, trying to keep up with all the information being presented when -- surprise -- a photo of a foot with the same hue on the toes popped up on her phone.  She did everything she could to keep from bursting out laughing.  It seems that one of her dear friends from college had painted her toes the same happy shade of blue.  And in deciding to share the photo of her newly painted foot, this friend brought the kindness of comic relief to the woman's densely packed Monday morning.  Sometimes, we just need to be reminded to laugh a little.
