The Kindness of My Very Funny Friend

"I love people who make me laugh.  I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh.  It cures a multitude of ills.  It's probably the most important thing in a person."
~ Audrey Hepburn

On a recent Friday, I was at the airport on my way home from a week-long business meeting.  I was so tired that I sat down at the gate, rested my head on my suitcase handle and thought I might just doze off.  Then I began receiving a series of very funny texts from one of my dearest friends.  At one point, I was not even sure what he was talking about, but I was laughing out loud and shaking in my seat.  He reminded me that we have been engaging in the same banter for several decades.  I had felt exhausted and was even on the brink of cranky, but his sense of humor not only made me laugh, but also gave me perspective and a renewed sense of gratitude for so many things, including my very hilarious friend (who has a whole host of other terrific qualities).
