No – nothing dramatic happened today. I wasn’t serenaded by a lovesick swain. In fact, it was a pretty ordinary day – except for the fact that I just felt surges of love all day.

And that makes it special.

There was the very funny bit that Alisa sent me that made me laugh out loud – and the surge of love I felt for her.

There was the wonderful, heartfelt email a friend sent, and all the love I felt for her.

There was Simon with me inside my heart all day and all the love I have for him.

There was the book that I have been engrossed in all day (editing and revising) and all the love I felt for Germana – as well as the love of the work.

There was very silly Abby and all her sweetness on our walks today – and all the love I have for her.

And all my friends – and I realize how incredibly blessed I am, not only to have all this love inside me but also to have somewhere to put it.
