Happy Monday

I'm feeling all kinds of gratitude this morning. For a start, Neil Diamond is on my internet radio station, touching me, touching you. I've never been happier than in my current lucky, lucky life. I'm so grateful to have a number of vibrant, interesting, smart, kind friends in my life. I'm constantly inspired by the good people around me. I've just eaten a small wedge of leftover cake from Angela's birthday. Vanilla-fudge-berries-rum-creme de cassis-cream cheese frosting, and a cup of Irish Breakfast tea. Husbanks and I put a small table on our back landing, and though it's chilly and overcast this morning, his knit cap of a macho-man football team that won't be mentioned is keeping my noggin toasty. We recieved a gorgeous wedding gift this weekend. I'm in love with three fishies. Mel Torme is on now, and I'm getting ready to have a friend in for a lunchtime date this afternoon before I start work with a couple of new clients. A new semester starts tomorrow, my jogging program goes slowly but well, and I witnessed two happy graduations, one big and one small, yesterday. Blessed, stoked, fortunate-- choose your adjective. I'm just happy.

Bok-Bok Love

Ch-ch-ch-ch-etc.

Ah, four hours and several bad smells in the Social Security office later, I am officially une Fairbanks.
