Feeling loved

Today's mail brought an absolutely delightful Rosh Hashanah card, from adrian_turtle to me and cattitude. The card is addressed to both of us. There's a preprinted message that says "Peace to all people, good health, prosperity, and a sweet year to you! L'Shanah Tovah!"

That's a fine sentiment, but it's not what has had me smiling broadly for the last hour. Underneath, she wrote "you are my family and I love you" and added her wish that next year be healthier and happier for us than last. I don't think it could be much happier, but we'll be glad of healthier.

I am very pleased.
