Thingish Things

I wanted to write an insightful and wise entry and wrote a silly one about kisses and rainbows instead…
I expected an encouragement from friends in my notsogood times, but only saw them watching from the distance how I will scramble out on my own…
I wanted to draw a picture perfect, but it was just a childish scribble, too unprofessional to put in a frame…
I wanted to be seen strong and proud, but instead run into the corner and whine. And no, I do not like to be on top. Those who asked, know what I mean. Being on top means – being in charge and somehow this gets too weary...
Somehow I'm doing everything wrong way...

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." 
[~Leo Buscaglia]

I’ve been thinking today…what makes us suddenly remember of someone, someone that we do not think of very often? What makes us as of a sudden reach out and touch them without any reason, just because we thought of them?..I’ve received an e-card today. A wonderful and beautiful card. From someone I met more then 5 years ago. A Stranger from the chat room, an acquaintance of 2 or 3 months…Our traces lost in a sand of time…once or twice I’ve heard from him since. A few facts about how he’s getting on, a few kind words, and then again – silence for another years to come. I don’t even know him that much and never saw him. We exchange a season greetings from time to time, a few words in e-mail, perhaps…And I received this card from him today. Not in reply, not for the holiday, totally reasonless and unexpected. And this made me wonder…what is it, that makes others to remember us?..Why a distant stranger could appear to be closer then those we love in everydays? Why few electronic words were like little sunshine in the dusk of the day? And this simple card was so touching that brought tears to my eyes. Because such little acts of unexpected kindness make us feel a little special, raise our spirits, makes us feel good about ourselves and smile. And tell me who wouldn’t want to feel special for no other reason then for being who they are? And I’m the first to admit the guilt. 

Sometimes someone says something really small, and it just fits right into this empty place in your heart
