Today is [1] Joss Whedon’s birthday. He is 45 years young today. I, for one, am glad his parents created him and salute them for their blessing!

On a completely different note… Did you ever have an absolutely crappy day that ended unexpectedly and reminded you that you are not alone in the universe? Today was one of those days for me.

It started out very stressful and ended with an expected encounter with a friend at Wal-Mart, of all places. It was just one of those synchronicity things. I worked late tonight so I got to the store later than I usually would. The friend in question was meeting another mutual friend to pick up her computer to fix it. I needed a hug and there he was, all smiles and a quick-witted comment to make me laugh. Thank you, to whom ever orchestrated that! Everyone at Wal-Mart was polite and nice tonight too, which is an unusual occurrence. A much needed end to an otherwise bad day.

I’m going to spend what’s left of this evening remembering that life is tough for everyone right now and feel grateful for what I have. Like my Grandma used to say, it’ll all come out in the wash.
