Several times this summer, I felt delight and I will even say, glee. Whether it was spinning around in the water of the Great Lakes and enjoying the crest of the waves, or feeling the breeze while riding a bike, or simply driving in my car to a good bop, there were a couple of times I thought, “If people could see what I’m doing, they’d be delighted to see it.” I was so readily enjoying myself.
That doesn’t mean that every moment this summer was puppies and rainbows. They weren’t.
But these moments were. And I felt people with me.
