Anecdote

Caity just posted about how she randomly found a list of things that make her smile, and how it cheered her up. I love when things like this happen, and it reminded me of something that happened in high school:

One day, during my senior year of high school, my friend Malorie IMed me, asking "Did you ever find my note?"

I was really confused, and had no idea what she was talking about, so I asked her what she meant. She told me that about a week prior, while we were doing work in Spanish, she had written me a page-long note. I asked her where she put it, and she just said "I'm not going to tell you; I hope you find it when you're having a bad day." I did a quick look through my backpack for it, to no avail, and forgot about it.

Then, about a month later, I was having a really bad day for some reason, and I was cleaning my room/backpack out of frustration. As I'm moving one of my spiral notebooks, out falls the note! And sure enough, I read it, and my mood immediately improved.

I don't remember now what was on it, but I think I may have it laying around somewhere still. I'll look for it, and maybe type it up. There's no real point to this post; just felt like sharing the anecdote.
