In New Mexico, Carlene bought me a license plate holder from the Life Is Good store. I've enjoyed having that reminder in both the Big Minnie and the Honda--which I see every time I open the hatchback to get groceries or a yoga mat.
I'm thinking of it now because I'm just so grateful to have found a career I love--leading writing groups. Fact is, I've always loved my work--teaching all grades from sixth grade to college--but this is the best ever.
When I do work I love, I don't feel tired afterwards, I feel energized, refreshed, and alive. Writers--after all--all in one room: what could be better? Every meeting is different, every written page a gift, every writer a friend.
As Valentines Day approaches, I'm not thinking: Poor Me, I don't have a man in my life; I'm thinking Lucky Me, I have amazing friends! My life feels so full; where would I fit a man-person? But I did tell Sharon today (when she brought me a Valentines bouquet) that if I do ever get married again, I want her to be my flower girl.
