Sometimes, I get a little discouraged with the world. Sometimes I just get a little overwhelmed with the greed, with the evil, with the negativity, with everything that goes wrong on a daily basis.
It's so easy to forget all of the good...all of the love...all the friendship. I begin to feel unloved...unloving...unmotivated.
And then the goodness is brought to you in full force, just as a little reminder. We all need reminders every now and then...
We've got a new girl at work named Laura. She's very spunky, funny, sassy. Lots of joking around goes on with her. She's not a real touchy feely person, she likes to hang with the guys, she's a sharp dresser. Today she and I ended up wearing the same outfit, basically. I had on a brown skirt and a burnt orange top, while she had on brown pants and a burnt orange top. Her necklace was so striking with the outfit...a long strand of random beads, in teal, orange, brown, clear. So long that she looped it around twice. I loved the look so much, I must've complimented her 3 times. I asked her if she'd make me one and charge me for it. And she took the necklace off and gave it to me.
I told her no, I didn't mean I wanted hers. But she wouldn't take no for an answer. So I plucked off the necklace I had on and stringed this beauty around my neck. Love it. And loved her gesture. It was so unexpected from her. Things like that make me smile.
And feel a little better about the world.

That was very sweet of Laura. Gestures like this Do make us realize so many things. Love it!
And it looked very nice on you at Bunko last night also!
That was a really nice thing to do. That is a wonderful necklace too. You should have gotten a photo of yourself wearing it!
Things like that really do make you feel good inside, don't they?
