A day, last week, had an Easter Egg. A totally unexpected, delightful, inexplicable, and joyful object showed up in my office mailbox. Lately, my routine has been mundane, and designed around committing myself to the least amount of anything possible. The result of this was that I had done a pretty effective job of forgetting everybody with whom I don't share a space. I had been forgetting my friends. My friends, on the other hand, have been doing a very good job of not forgetting me. I'm glad to have my friends. I'm thankful that they are willing to reach out even when I am silent. All of this may be very isolating, but I am glad to be reminded that no matter how different our lives are, my friends don't think isolation should be defeating.
One friend thought that this sweet set of pens were "me". She decided to get them, and wrap them in the most adorable bunny paper. She dropped them off in my office mailbox so that I could privately smile and take whatever time I needed to remember her again.
