Sometimes it's the seemingly little things that completely make my day.

Yesterday, I received a package in the mail... a raw stone specimen I had ordered off of Ebay

and hope to make the focal piece for a neat necklace some day. In the package, there was also a letter from the seller,

telling me that she had looked up my blog... and was happy to see that we were sort of kindred spirits. It was very cool...

and thoroughly awesome... and it made me smile.

I think, far too often, we miss those little "gems" that show up and remind us all that it's still a nice planet

... and there are lots of good folks still on it.

See you all tomorrow.
