From a Friend, with Hope

There was a time today when I felt very upset and frustrated about something. The worst part was that I knew I shouldn't have been upset about it, but I was nonetheless. Then I received a note from a kind friend, a tiny message of hope and encouragement. Soon after I read the note I became less upset and more grateful for what I do have, and the hopes I have for the future became stronger. I am grateful for the thoughtful words of a friend.
