Have you ever heard the song "Smile" by Tony Bennett. I love this song, the tune, the lyric's, the artist. Some days smiling is easier said than done. You guys already know that at Cosmo Cricket our theme is, "We do comedy and we don't do drama."
So yesterday I was having a really, really, not-so-good of a day. Gluber drama to be exact. Our shipment has been delayed and we pride ourselves on taking care of our customers and I take it personally. It totally stresses me out.
It was a Monday and I'm super glad that it's over.
My day got better when first Eric called to cheer me up, then he handed the phone to Julie, who know's the best way to cheer me up is to tease me, then my wife called, I got an email from Matt, our sticker printer, also my friend Matt from Bo-Bunny, Laurie from Scrapbook Island called just to say hi and see how I was doing, and my my sister-in-law Lisa ( I love her to pieces) in Florida sent me a really cute email with a picture of the cutest niece and nephews in the galaxy!.
All of these things made me smile and then late in the afternoon I got this email from Kate, Eric and Julie's 11 year old daughter. I think Eric and Julie must have told Kate I was having not so great of a day.
Here's an email and a poem that she wrote. Any sign of a bad Monday went away:
Dear Lindsay,
Just recently I have written a poem for Kalle, my Mom, and my Dad. Then I started thinking and thinking and I realized, something was missing. I just couldn't figure out what it could be. What could be missing. Then before I knew it, it came to me as plain as that. You want to know what the missing thing was? It was that I hadn't ever yet written a poem for Uncle Lindsay. So really quickly here is a poem since Kalle, my Mom, and my Dad have allready gotten one here is one for you.
You're my incredible Uncle Lindsay, and today I'm here to say, just how great you are, maybe even make your day!!!
You aren't really my Uncle but it wouldn't hurt to say, you are wonderful Uncle Lindsay and we all know it HEY HEY HEY!
I love coming to your house, I love how nice you are to me, and everything you do, I appreciate you see.
Now to finish my poem, I want you to know, what you mean to me, wich is simply everything.
To: My Incredible Uncle Lindsay
Sincerly,
Kate
