It’s really just me,
isn’t it – my glass
is the one that’s half
empty – but I can’t
shake the notion that
there’s been an extreme
abundance of negativity
bouncing around for
too long now. So, how
lovely it was to receive
your glorious email this
morning. It was a won-
derful pick-me-up,
at once generous and
perfectly concise; an
“all is well with the
world, after all” that
could only have come
from you. And, while
it did not include the
phrase “this song
apples mood” – at
least as far as my rem-
embrances go (though
I will admit that I’ve
eaten and drunk a good
three times since),
that’s precisely what
I’ve been humming
ever since I put it
down. And, what’s
more, I’m ever so
pleased to report that,
right up to this very
moment, I remain
yours, del-
usionally
enthralled.
