I ambled about my heart today and found a sort of sadness which I could not place. It put me in a funk.
And then Awa, my roommate from Ethiopia, started talking to me, and in my sudden joy at her presence in my life, I realized that I had missed her.
It's funny that one person can change the course of your entire day. It can be the most awful day you have ever experienced, but in a quick exchange with someone you care for, it can take a drastic turn for the better, and vice versa.
A shared smile, a wink, a kind word from a stranger.
A hug from a friend.
