living

I am glowing with love tonight, even though S's car died in the grocery store parking lot this afternoon. Bro-in-law and all around astoundingly wonderful human being stepped in to save our milk and eggs, and the car was towed, and we have money in the bank to fix it. And I spent this evening talking for hours to an old/new friend, and sharing beer and playing cards and eating quiche and the last of the funeral cake. There are some people your heart recognizes, and she is one. I'm very rich in ways that matter, and my finger stopped hurting, and I have had the thought twice today that I'm really, really glad to be living, and living here. I am grateful.
