We spend a large percentage of the day in this room.<BR/><BR/>I read a theory (can't recall where) that making a setting "accessible" to someone's special need almost always renders the setting more "human" to everyone. <BR/><BR/>Greg opened last evening's reading by turning to me to ask, "Denise, what do you think of our lighting lighting?" <BR/><BR/>"I think it looks very becoming on you." Everyone clapped. I offered a deep bow. It's good to be loved in such a concrete way. The solution is a bit inconvenient, but everyone's face in the room is charmed and more charming.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795891854497157302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11290247.post-38205251658261398272008-03-15T23:37:00.000-04:002008-03-15T23:37:00.000-04:00Wow.Say, did they change the lights for you, or wa...Wow.<BR/>Say, did they change the lights for you, or was that just the evenings setting? Either way, glad it helped the headaches....Byron K.

It feels almost like being there--and I think that is good!<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on your Moral Victory! As someone who still is amazed that when she and her friend met Billy Collins they didn't try to kidnap him and bring him home, I understand! :)<BR/><BR/>Hope the rest of your stay is healthy, with no more headaches.<BR/><BR/>Happy Writing!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05070492698283903745noreply@blogger.com
