So so so many surprises in one day

Today was an amazingly affirming day after so many bad ones this week.  It was a day filled with surprises, laughter, and hope.  Yes, that's right, I said hope.  I never thought hope would be so life affirming.  I have been missing out.

Today I received my holiday bonus.  I am not used to getting them and the past two years have been very pleasantly surprised.  Well, to be honest, this year, I was like OMG!  The amount was a lot more than last year -- nearly double -- which is a huge help right now.  

The second OMG moment today -- well, that is a bit if a secret.  What I can tell you is that it was as very affirming moment.  I am still glowing about it, but now realize how much it sucks to not have someone to come home to and share the good news with at the end of the day.

So tonight I will raise my glass to today being a great, life affirming, OMG day.  We all need one of those.  Lord knows I was certainly overdue for mine.
