Work's been sucking lately. Due to the bad economy (among other things), it's been tense, stressful, not a happy place to be. Although I realize I'm lucky to have a job, sometimes it's just, well, too much.
But, in the midst of it all, there's laughter and silliness. Let me tell you about my friend Cy. He and I used to "work" together at the same firm-- me in Chicago, Cy on the West Coast (he lives in San Francisco) We've never met... interacting only on the phone when we worked together and via e-mail since we've both moved on. I've known him for probably 15 years or more. Getting an e-mail from Cy is like a snuggly blanket and a mug of hot cocoa-- guaranteed to put a smile on your face. He writes long, descriptively fun e-mails about food (he really, really should be a restaurant critic), fashion, Project Runway, Top Chef, running at the gym... anything and everything, many times a day.
Today, for absolutely no reason, I got a package from San Francisco containing Hello Kitty and a stylish, artsy card. I giggled til my stomach hurt. Every time I look at it, I'll smile. Thanks, Cy. Good friends like you are a rare and precious gift.
Enjoy your Sanrio's Hello Kitty holiday ornament, Linda! It'll certain look great and colorful on your holiday tree.
