A Happy New Year

Every blogger worth his salt has already done a special post wishing his readers on the turn of this millennium's first decade. Of course, not me. I have been neck deep in tasks to finish and deadlines to meet before I take off for my brother's wedding.

New year came and went and I merely nodded to welcome it. It had been pretty mundane till I got a hand-made greeting. It was a pleasant surprise to get a sentiment that had been expressed especially for me. I really can't remember when was the last time someone had so painstakingly made one for me.

After all, with electronic communication killing off the joy of having the postman ask for you, this is but a rare pleasure now. Nobody mails me except the credit card people sending those typed, impersonal mails once a month. So I'm going to keep it safe and read it whenever I'm feeling unwanted and small, it'll surely make me smile.
