Random Acts

I was gifted by a random act of kindness today.

One of my co-workers came over to say hello and then told me there was something different about me today. I suggested I was probably still looking ill from my Joe Louis experience.

She assured me, however, that it was a good something different. Not being the kind of person to take a compliment seriously, I suggested it was the reflection of Christmas lights surrounding my monitor (more about that later).

But no, apparently this change was due to something inside of me. She couldn't put a finger on it, but it was a good change coming from within. I think that's one of the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.
