I am trying to just really pay attention to anything other than the news. Is that naive? Self-serving? Probably. I've voted and volunteered, and now I am just waiting, but I am not so awesome at waiting, so I went outside on my deck, where I expected everything to be retreating towards winter, and the marigolds are making one last, golden push. I'm going to cut some and bring them in. On a completely different note, I checked my email, and got the most ridiculous, flip, and poorly worded rejection letter. As I was reeling from that, not five minutes later, I received an incredibly kind and thoughtful rejection letter. Already this morning life has thrown me a big ole' surprise party of feelings. I hope everyone is ok to feel all their feelings.
