Wow. The beautiful response to my essay from earlier this week has left me feeling humbled, honored, and truly connected to some amazing folks -- most of whom I don't personally know. The Grateful Life community has once again blessed me with their grace and kindness, love and support. Thank you, friends, for holding space for my experience with a difficult subject matter, and for helping to spread light where there is darkness in reading, replying, and sharing so positively. This was about as good a reaction to my reaction to a very public, yet sensitive, issue as any ol' writer could possibly hope for.... So, really, from my heart to yours -- thank you. OK! OK OK. Enough of all that. Since it is Friday, I wanted to lighten the mood a tad. We're all here ticking along as best we can, and life is so much better with a bit (a ton, please) of humor, amirite? Here's the scoop: Do you remember when Kristin Bell told Ellen that she has to live between a 3 and a 7 on the emotions scale, otherwise she's crying? Like, if anything is sadder than a 3, she's crying, and if anything is happier than a 7, she's crying? This is me. Very, very much me. Even when I hate to admit it and pretend I SO have it all together, this is exactly me. Having shared a living space for 10 months now, Brandon very calmly and non-chalantly pointed out this week that he has observed this 3-7 scale behavior on a regular basis. And, because humor is his go-to for everything, when I asked him what he meant by that, he gave his best...most loving (read: I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt/not taking myself too seriously)... impression of me falling below or above 3-7. Here's how I hope this video lightens the mood: 1. By sharing a laugh at B's impersonation of Trish "having a feeling", then casually continuing to eat his sandwich. and 2. By noticing my very hunky man prefers to be shirtless around the house, making me (and now you), a very lucky gal (or guy -- hey, I live in SF). This is an accurate example of a typical night at the Fell/DiGaetano house... Life. Oh, life. Happy weekend!! Gratefully, Trish
