Thoughtfulness = Jameil
I'm sitting here trying to doze off and as I'm mentally rewinding my day, I realized that I must share with you all a total act of kindness shown to me by one of my favorite bloggers, Jameil over at I Don't Know Why I Liked Ripped Paper .
I hadn't checked my mail in a couple of days and finally got around to opening the mailbox this afternoon. That's when I discovered that Jameil mailed me a little note congratulating me on completing the Los Angeles Marathon AND she sent me a Starbucks gift card as a little present!
Beyond the fact that I can now indulge my chai habit even MORE, I was really touched by how thoughtful Jameil was. There have been folks I've considered friends who have not once called to see how the race went, but here's someone who has NEVER EVEN MET ME, and she's congratulating me and sending me presents!!! Love it!
There is so much negativity all around. Sometimes it feels like I'm being assaulted by all the pessimism, discontent, dissatisfaction with life and bitterness swirling through the miasma of our existence. But there, in a parallel universe, lies the kindness and thoughtfulness of people like Jameil. She really sets such a good example... and you had best believe I'll be taking my behind to Starbucks in the morning!

And congrats again on the marathon.
She was all interested in how you did when we saw each other tonight. She's still feeling it a bit in her right thigh.
Wasn't that sweet of her? So happy to have another reason to go get more chai!
Mrwriteon,
Glad to oblige. :)
Jen,
I am SO impressed that your friend ran it at the age of 60! Now THAT is inspiring. My legs are ok, but I'm about to lose my big toenail on my left foot. It REALLY hurts.
I'm trying to remind myself that it doesn't hurt to look on the bright side of things at all times. In fact, it makes me feel better to do so.
Ingrid,
Isn't it! :)

She is very, very awesome!
