I’m blessed, he happily, sincerely replied. & wow. WoW. Like a light-switch flipped to on, yep, I do believe I’ve rediscovered my very favorite syllables. I’m. …

I waited in a waiting room the other day. I didn’t particularly want to be there & if I had a choice of places to be, I would definitely choose somewhere else. But, I was & so, I waited. A woman across from me waited too & the the man to her left. A few …
