4/9: a good people day

I'm often awkward in my interactions with people.  Because I'm on sabbatical, I haven't been having that many direct interactions with people this year, and many of the direct interactions I have had over the past two months have been tied up in unpleasantness.  But today I did interact with quite a few people and it was all good!  Three colleagues, two students, a neighbor, a woman who works at our in-town mail place, and (from a distance) two long-time friends whom I did not expect to hear from today but am so, so glad I did.
