The Power of a Hug

Yesterday at work was like one of those crazy/crazy long days that is only suppose to exist in movies about some over worked paper pusher. But let me tell you, those days to exist in real life. (a truly unfortunate fact) And it wasn't one catastrophic event that forced me to franticly run around my little office, just a compilation of small disasters.


As I was sitting at my desk last night, trying to finish up, a friend texted and wanted to know if I was planing to go to FHE. And when I said I wasn't feeling up to it, (I was not in a Caroling mood) he asked if I just wanted to chill. He was an answer to an unspoken prayer, I had not yet reached the break down point, but it was on its way.


I was so relieved that I had an excuse to leave the office it was amazing. I went to his house and we had chinese food and watched Blue Streak (very funny!) As we sat on his couch, I realized that a small thing like a hug and a movie can make such a big difference.


So I have decided that one of my resolutions for the new year is to be that person, the one who is there for her friends, even if all they need is the little things.
