I love these threads so much. It's such a gift to share another's joy. There's a word for it, you know: Compersion. So we're feeling compersion for one another.
Carla, Lily of the Valley -- such a sweet, rich scent! Real spring. It has been slow in coming.
Diana, happy anniversary!! And your grandmother is gorgeous. Now we know where you get your looks.
Inge, that is wonderful news about your mother!
Khris, I love the sounds of what you describe. It is a good place to be.
Ramya: congrats on the great job!
Deb: So sorry about the accident but glad you are unharmed!
Dianthus, so glad you will soon be in the new house. What an exciting time for you.
As for me, I've had several happy moments this week. (I am counting since the weekend.)
1. As most of you know, I won an Honourable Mention and a Silver Medal at the National Magazine Awards. (Pictured with one of my editors, below).
2. I had a moment of rapprochement with a long-estranged friend, one I have missed terribly. I never really understood what went wrong between us; she just stopped wanting to be my friend. But we had a conversation the other day that felt so much warmer and more real than any we've had in a decade.
3. I got a great idea for a series of what I hope will be paradigm shifting articles for my paid work and presented it to my boss, who was hugely supportive.
