Good Vibrations

Yeah, I know. Marky Mark. But still...I couldn't think of a better way to title this entry, so bite me. ;)

Yeah, it's been a pretty damn good day. The Hawks played well tonight, shutting out the Capitals 5-0. The tourney starts tomorrow. And I finally got to talk to my best friend, who's been crazy busy lately.

It didn't seem like today was going to be a good day, much less a great one. I walk into the bank this morning and before I even have my coat off, the annoying teller is asking me to take care of some problem with a customer. I had a "this is what you did wrong on this situation so don't do that again" voicemail when I got to my desk and I'm just plain tired from working 6 days a week for the last month and a half. Plus I have this annoying nagging cough that just won't go away. I really really really really REALLY didn't want to be there.

But things got better this afternoon. I read a book that a friend mailed to me, a fantastic little book that gave me a lot of insight into how she looks at things. It fit her, the ideas behind it, the way it looked at life and the slightly crazy plot line. It was short, yet incredibly insightful and deep. A lot deeper than I thought 190 pages would be. It'll give me something to talk to her about when I talk to her next. Plus it made me laugh a lot, something I needed rather badly.

Then my friend called me on his way home and we got a chance to catch up. It's strange how things that are so wrong can change just by talking them over with someone you trust. So I'm doing better, in case you were worried. And thank you to those of you who reached out to me recently. I do appreciate it. I feel blessed to know you.
