"You take away all the other
luxuries in life, and if you can make someone smile and laugh, you have given
the most special gift: happiness."
~ Brad Garrett
Have you ever
really, really not wanted to do something you had to do? On a recent morning, as I was mentally
grumbling about somewhere I needed to go, I received a funny photo from one of
my daughter's best friends. This
teenager lives on the other side of the world.
On this particular morning (which was evening for her), she used one of
those funny filters to turn herself into a cherry and sent me the photo. I responded and told her that I was so
grateful for a funny photo and text given that I was in a bad mood about where
I needed to go. She proceeded to send me
more funny photos as well as a video, and told me to remember that she was
always watching over my family.
I laughed out loud, grateful for this wonderful teenager and this crazy
world of cyberspace. Hours later, after
I had uneventfully done what I needed to do, I was still smiling thinking of
her kindness.
