the important things

This is going to have to be a quick one. It's late, I only got back from work about an hour ago, and we have a big presentation tomorrow morning. My eyes were really blurry today, and I'm sure staring at a computer screen for 12+ hours doesn't help. I'm worried that my eyes may not get much better than this, and I think I am only at about 20/40, if even.

But the high point of my day came at the very end, when my friend surprised me with a really thoughtful little pick-me-up and card:



It's a cooling eye mask, to soothe my dry, red eyes after a long day. Oooh, fun and relaxing! More than that though, the gift and card was a reminder to me that sometimes, some of the most important things in life -- friendship and kindness -- cannot be seen, only felt. Thank you.
