Hope

This has been a week where "the world" has cut me some slack by being full of those stories that show how wonderful life can be. A man jumped onto the subway to rescue a stranger, The person with the tape of Steve Irwin's death returned it to his widow, behaving in an honorable way in a world that would have paid big dollars for him to do otherwise, firemen delivered a baby in New York, a couple of guys caught a 4 year old who was falling out of a window, a puppy who has been gone for a long time, showed up at the other end of the country, and has now been returned to her owners, my long lost friend is back to being my friend again - so much so that she told me to stop whining which was something I needed to hear, I might get a job offer to make more money and if I do, I already like the girl I'll be working with, and whatever was trying to get in to eat my chickens didn't make it in.

Yep all that in one week - you'd think the Earth was spinning backwards or something.

Then I went to the Gluten Free Girl. Her name is Shauna, and like many of us, she searched and hoped for love for a long time, she'll be forty next year. She is up for a blog award because of her wonderful story, Yes, warning: I was streaming tears at my desk, but you already know what a sap I am for a love story. Read it when you have a minute and want to be submerged in a bit of hope, it did it for me.

PS I don't care if I sound sappy, I am so ready to be back to my happier self and thankful that the world is getting back into alignment.
