mid afternoon positive - got an IM from ex this morning - she was down some because of a business problem. Feeling that encouragement only from the IM might not be enough, I called her and let her know I was in her corner and that I felt that the problem could be resolved. After a few more exchanges of support we each went back to work.
Just got a IM from her and she told me my support helped her then. I said I was really glad I could be there and she replied with a Star Icon.
Then she said "My shinning Star" I replied with Thanks - I hope I can always be too. She replied "me too" and the flower Icon.
