On this day a young woman sat at her desk, between sips of her earl gray tea and editing background materials, she received an email announcing her acceptance into graduate school. Her mouth fell open, she tried to push it closed, but before she could she uttered "I got in" and suddenly there was music everywhere and a song in her heart of thanks to God for enabling her with the gifts to get to this point. (and the fact she had a nice bottle of wine at home to celebrate with).
With a mad dash to the parking lot, and her hair dancing in the wind she phoned the most important people in her lives. And at the end of the phone calls, instead of feeling like her head had been inflated, her heart was inflated...with feelings of gratitude.
