Sometimes people know just what to say
I was feeling pretty glum today. I haven't exercised in a while because of my knee. Work is piling up on my desk. I was thinking that I might just crawl into bed and try to sleep it all away. Then in my email inbox I found the very words I needed to hear.

It could have been my life, or at least my week, writing. The message was empty and the subject line said:

Are you just going to let me kick your ass like this?

Well, no. As a matter fact, I'm not.
