Pity Party, Averted

Herself was feeling slightly out of sorts yesterday; it was one of those occasions when she could see the beginnings of a dark cloud on the horizon. Her Beloved has had several pressing work projects and has been working very long hours, and she has missed his company.  All the irritations and frustrations that she usually manages to keep at bay have been looming larger of late.  Her cup was half empty.

And then, a few brief e-mail exchanges with two of her local friends dispelled the gloom.  To know that they have thought of her and taken the time to write a message, whether profound or inconsequential, to share something with her, warms her heart and makes her smile.  Her friends are a cool drink in the dry desert.

Thank you.
