3 things went wrong today:
I awoke to a flooded kitchen. With plastic animals all over the adjacent (office) floor.
The rear view mirror was dangling from my car window (for the third time).
By the time I sat down at my computer, I didn’t know where to start—too much work to do, and no idea where to begin.
1 thing changed everything:
A visit with Christina.
I delivered her prints, visited for about an hour, and my world changed: suddenly happy, manageable, confident, and just plain better.
There is enormous power in human connection. It’s not easy to find the riiiight friend. Not everyone is Christina. Not everyone is Mandy. Not every moment is a moment between us in a certain place in February 2015.
But.
Everyone needs people.
Maybe once a week, every day, or every hour. Working from home, alone for long hours, I’m starting to feel I need an office, with co-workers. Whether I like them or not. For now this is what I know: Christina is amazing; today I’m super-grateful for her; and everybody needs people.
So let’s connect. Who is the person built into your life who keeps you connected? Who is the person you didn’t expect, who made your day?
(The gorilla at the top was left on the floor, and it’s also how I felt this morning. Fists in the air. Screaming. Crazy. But I can also be super-nice. I swear.)
