Every Day Should Be This Good!

When I woke up this morning, the sky was a very bright blue. The sun was shining, the birds were singing. As I stretched and yawned and reached for my phone, I had no clue what the day would bring. But as I fired up my BlackBerry, my eyes still heavy with sleep, I proceeded to check my messages. And that’s when this most gorgeous day became even brighter.

The very first email I opened was a notification from Twitter. A reader, who had just finished Pierced Ever After, sent me a series of short private messages via Twitter (only 140 characters, you know), to let me know her thoughts on the conclusion of the Pierced Trilogy. She said that it had moved her to tears in a few spots, and she thanked me for making it “emotionally beautiful.” Her words.

Wow! I was floored. I had to read her words again. And again. I was so touched and humbled and shocked. It was, without a doubt, the coolest freaking way to begin the day! And that vibe of amazement has been with me ever since.

The sun is beginning to set now, and as I look out the window at the show, my mind can’t help but remember the beautiful morning and the elation I felt after reading those words. I PM’d her back and thanked her for her kind words and her praise for Pierced Ever After. I still feel touched and humbled and shocked. Every day should be this good.
