Friday the 13th

I could tell you about all of the (many) things that went wrong today. I could rant about the drama, the anger, the frustrations, and the tragedies. But that's not the story that you want to read. And tonight, it's not the story I want to tell.

So here's to the good things that happened today. In a hailstorm of emotions and hardship, there was also magic.

Today, I learned a little something about true friends, and who mine are. I got surprise visits at work, and a text from a dear friend who is very far away. I had a wonderful night at the movies, and re-discovered one of the simple joys in life (more on this one later, stay tuned.) None of these completely remarkable by themselves, but wrapped all together and sprinkled throughout the day, they were just what I needed.

Magical moments don't always have to be big. Sometimes, the smallest bit of magic is all you need. And it can come from the unlikeliest places.

There's magic all around you. Just let it happen.
