Someone I had ...My best day last week was Tuesday. Someone I had done a job for has owed me $3000 for over a month and a half and my finances and patience were running low. I finally convinced him to pay me on Tuesday and drove to his house to pick up the check. It was absolutely nerve-wracking, as I hate confrontation and just wanted to be done with this job and move on to new things, so I was extremely anxious the whole way over there.<BR/><BR/>After he handed me the check (through my car window), I felt this amazing sense of calm and relief. I started to drive away and "Here Comes the Sun" came on the radio - what a catharsis! It was a version with Paul Simon and George Harrison from "Saturday Night Live" on Nov. 20, 1976, according to the DJ. Somehow, this seemed relevant to me, as I was born in 1976 and am a huge fan of both Paul Simon and George Harrison. I don't think I've ever understood the lyrics as much as I did in that moment. I was so happy about the promise of new beginnings and closing that bad chapter that I cried and smiled through the entire song. It rings even more true because we ARE just emerging from a long, cold winter in Chicago. Then, I went home and made myself some cupcakes and talked long-distance on the phone with my sister. It ended up being a magical and happy day after all!Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11895082030513569980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292173.post-10971688041962680022007-05-11T22:38:00.000-07:002007-05-11T22:38:00.000-07:00Last Saturday was definately the best day of my we...Last Saturday was definately the best day of my week.

He was not calling to me in distress, he was calling me in just to say "hi mommy!".<BR/><BR/>it made my heart melt.<BR/><BR/>so when are you going to share your story with us?
