It’s funny how a small bit of thing will shift the winds ever so slightly, which in turn makes everything seem different. Better. Just a bit. Just enough to want to see what’s around the next corner.Some examples: Being the new owner of the Ashley Satchel [a gift, no less]. Seeing my old coworkers, who commented on how much more relaxed I seem, and realizing that my worklife doesn’t give me heartburn anymore. Buying a whole mess of sorely-needed shoes (but not these, though they are heart- and ankle- breakingly gawgeous).

You know, stuff.
