Good Day

I had a really good day today

at work

I had a big win -- that made me look awesome
and I needed that
what's even better is a VP gave me credit for the win
publicly

so much better than being a cautionary tale

and

UPS came through

Tex put the wrong address but they found me

and

oh it's just lovely

I had asked him for something small that I could keep on me
as a talisman or a touchstone

I imagined a keychain
or
a bookmark even

a stone from his yard would have been unusual
but would have fit the bill

but

instead

I got a lovely necklace

that I can't stop touching

no man has given me a gift
in a very very long time

and I'm struck
yet again

that he's a wonderful man
and we're lucky to have found each other.
