Never stop believing in happy endings ---

What Tyler said to me as he left for school one morning.

Tyler, lowering his head when he just doesn't know what to think of me. (Tyler, I don't know what all is on your list, but I'm going to need you to run for President.)

Barry and I went to Kitchen on George last night. It was my idea and he said yes. I told him we'd have to clean up a little, and he said that wouldn't be any problem. And he got dressed himself --- in pants that weren't jeans.

Having fun getting to know LaDonna.

I have power to my writing shack now, and the A/C works! Barry and Chris hooked it up yesterday.

Yesterday, I had a Facebook email from Collette, about going to Michael's all-star games, and that she has an oxygen tank and was afraid the kids would be embarrassed, and that Lindsey has to change the tank if it starts to run low.

I told her that her grandbabies thought she was better than butterscotch, etc.

This morning, I had another e-mail --- that I was the sweetest person she knew and that my words of wisdom made her day.

And I read and re-read her words, and remembered Morgan saying "You know how to make people feel good," and the Forest for the Trees and the "words that go no further than the one person for whom they are intended," and I just felt good and fulfilled and happy.

So --- it's been awhile, hasn't it?

Sometimes, I just don't have the energy to think too much about joyful thoughts. (And I am going to want a different chair.)

But when we were at the Battleship, we got to the door just about the same time, and from the opposite direction as a long line of teen-aged,, uniformed, young men. Andrew held the door for them. His doing that warmed my heart.

Later, he talked about having a Facebook discussion with the Democrat who was running for congress, and said that the man finally agreed with him. I thought that was pretty cool.

The whole weekend that Nana and Granddad were here went really well. Morgan and Brittany invited them over to their apartment.
