Sometimes you can’t make it on your own
Some days you oversleep and narrowly avoid missing a deadline with a tough client and there’s a hurricane and you have to go to the store in the pouring rain to buy milk and some ingredients for the dinner you’ll be eating sometime around nine-thirty.
And some days you come home a little early because traffic is unbelievably good and you zip through the kitchen and you take out the trash and you stumble over an unexpected box from Amazon on your doorstep and it contains two books you’ve been wanting, one that you came very close to buying that afternoon because you realized it just came out in paperback and Borders sent you a thirty percent off coupon via email. It’s from someone you love, and of course it’s from her because she has an incredible knack for sending just the right note at just the right moment. You haven’t seen in over a year, not since she moved to California, but you don’t need to see her every day to be friends with her because that’s the kind of friendship you have, the kind that endures.
Some days you know you’ve got it really, really good.
