This is for someone who needs a little sunshine today and anyone else out there as well. When a rare bad mood bothers a friend, my immediate instinct is to banish it. As this friend is away I decided to indulge them by spending a minute to send a wee scented candle- red for the "mean reds" and place it in a candle holder I designed in the style of Breakfast at Tiffany's, which she likes at the moment. It's not quite me, but that isn't the point of gift giving.
"The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of." - Holly Golightly
So this is one little way of burning away the mean reds... aromatically.
I once heard that if you're scared of God then everything falls off in comparison. With trepidation, I tried it and it worked... the nightlight disappeared (Earth Day, bonjour). Sometimes the things that scare us most are as thin as paper, we're made of stronger stuff.

haha thank you of reminding me of holly and the mean reds- and that friends can help banish them away. one of my new year resolutions was to be a more thoughtful friend, and sending a little gift tailored to the friend's taste is perfect.
i'm happy to find your blog!
