Friendship is a wonderful thing. It ebbs and flows like the tide. Sometimes it rushes up the beach and floods you with love. Sometimes it holds back, it’s waves tickling the shore, letting you know it’s there when you need it. Yesterday I got a wave of love from my friend E - a box filled with Terry's Dark Chocolate Orange, an Owl Scarf and an Owl key finder. Love in a brown box. A box of happy moments that bring her to me as I move through my world of bumps and bruises. Every time I find my keys, which is sadly more often than not, I will think of her as my new Owl key friend says, “I’m here, dumb ass.” A chill in the air will bring a hug from her as I wrap the scarf tight around my neck. And a bad day will turn to sweetness as I shove a slice of Dark Chocolate Orange in my face and think of her. Tiny waves of love, tickling my days and flooding my life with love.
As I write this, another friend of mine is in the hospital. R is the nicest guy around and has been dealt a pretty awful set of cards in his life. But despite that, he manages to bring a smile to each and every person each and every day with a silly joke, story or a delectable morsel of candy. In fact, the day before I found out he was in the hospital, I got a package in the mail from him. Two cans of oranges, two Easter bunnies and a few chocolate eggs equaled a beam of sunshine from R wrapped in a brown mailing package. So I call you on my friends to spread the love today. A card, a text, a phone call, a silly story, a chocolate ice cream cone - just something to show you are thinking of that friend you haven't spoken to or seen, let them know they are on your mind and in your heart. It can get lonely on your own personal island of MeMeMe and it helps to know you are not alone. Make someone feel not alone today. (Chocolate is optional.)
