This mail was certainly not trashy. 

I received tons of kind wishes for my birthday on my Facebook wall but few (read: only one) actual hard copies. This card came in from a friend in Jersey who has been incredibly supportive through everything.  I didn't expect it at all, but the other day I did learn about it before I got to my mailbox.

 "How often do you check your PO box?" He asked me. 

I've been so busy with things.  I kept missing opportunities to check it. 

Last night there it was.  It was a message to wish me a good year.  It was something extra to help pay for the journey.  It wasn't a lot but it was everything.  It came without having to ask. It came without an expectation and attachment of indentured service.

It was there. 

Out of a sea of birthday comments,  there stood a few shining ones.  They were less common than I wish but I couldn't be more thankful for them.  There are good people out there. Thank you to my dear Jersey friend for being one of them.
