Last week I wrote about how much I appreciate my readers’ generosity, and I got ample proof of it again before the week was out. On Wednesday I drove into Seattle as I do every three weeks, and I discovered this collection waiting for me (along with Vangelis’ last album) from a reader who often gets me nice things (and the note he included gave me an extra smile). Then the next day, I published a request for help with travel funds (because the skyrocketing price of fuel and everything else has really exacerbated my typical summer & travel anxieties), and within hours I had received about 70% of what I estimate the trip will cost me. And let me tell you, there is nothing as good for anxiety as feeling supported and cared for! As I sit at my desk writing this, there’s a dramatic difference in my emotional balance from when I wrote the request just a week ago; I feel calm and I’m looking forward to the journey, whereas last week I was trying to decide whether to rethink the whole thing. So thank all of y’all for being so amazing; it’s no exaggeration to say that y’all saved my whole trip.
