After a pretty crappy year so far, today one of my best buds came for a visit after a trip to Universal Studios (amongst other places). She handed me a little bag and announced
"I know you'll love this. As soon as I saw it I saw you holding it and really smiling" (I have been trying to keep things light and happy, but she knows it's been a struggle more days than not.) Inside the bag was Hermione's time turner from The Prisoner of Azkaban, with a place to add a leather thong so I can wear it round my neck. I took it out and looked at it and sure enough, the first real smile I've felt in months. Something so little, but the fact that she knows me so well makes it so incredibly special. Some people just "get" you, y'know.

It's great to have those people that just get you and it's nice to hear that she could bring a little bit of random happy into your life. I'd love to see a picture.

I'd love to show a pic if anyone can tell me how to add a picture taken on an iPad?? And hey, if anyone knows why I have an avatar pic when I log in on the desktop and a kiwi when I'm on my iPad, that'd be cool too. Edited again....I think this account is the one that got eaten, cos my user name is spelt differently. Wonder why it's still ok on my iPad??

Random happy is the best kind of happy. I'm glad she gave you such a bright, happy spot to hold on to. |
