I got 4 letters in the mail yesterday that made me really emotional and sent me to the beach to read and reflect.
While I was there, a scruffy kid with a skateboard came up to me and said, "Excuse me, I know you are reading letters, but I just want you to know that you give new meaning to the expression Asian Persuasion!"
"Thanks," I said a little bashfully, hoping he didn't see the zits on my neck.
Another man came out of the water, and while squeezing out his long hair noticed the sheets I had in my hand, and asked me, "Uh-oh, good news or bad news?"
"Both," I said.
"Just be glad you got handwritten letters! Nobody gets those these days," he remarked.
Today I am a tiny bit miserable thinking about what might have been. Other than that, I'm having a good hair day. So it all balances out.
