Magical Mystery Tour?

On Saturday night at 10:26 p.m., I wrote here: feel upset because the delicate gold necklace I never take off broke...but at least it’s not lost... I will get it mended...talk tomorrow.

I've worn that gossamer-thin chain for years, even in the Cape Cod ponds and ocean.

Resigned, but glad I hadn't lost the necklace forever to the sea, I put jewelry repair down on my list of things to pay for when my next magazine-writing check comes--along with bills including heating oil, dentist and groceries. Even the most minimal jewelry fixes have spiked in cost, along with the price of gold over the years.

Then I published a letter to Dad last night, and mentioned how he fixed my necklace chains.

Then I realized this morning that while I could have sworn the chain was broken, when I decided to take a second look, I saw that the tiny clasp had unhooked from the tiny loop--and I could refasten it.  I was so tired Saturday night that I didn't notice...

Or did I? And this is a moment of magic, a message from above--Dad fixed my chain?

(BTW, Dan also fixes my jewelry for me when possible.)

Good night.

TCOY

1. Healthful foods: Ezekiel English muffin; vegan chicken patty; roasted broccoli; lean pork chop; sauerkraut; applesauce; Bosc pear slices with walnuts and small wedge blue cheese to conclude dinner.
2. Short walk at night. Saw moon and stars.
3. Private Benjamin session with Punch's therapist. It was a rough night last night, a rough day today. But that gifted therapist brought calm and light and helped steer the ship.
4. Started watching "Emily in Paris" on Netflix. What a delightful gift! Such escapism after a hard day. My friend Anne, my Sis and my brother-in-law Mike had all praised it. I love it. So much. Pure entertainment, plus Paris! Perfume, food, art, marketing, fashion, a beautiful boss you love to hate.....youth and bravery all in one. I think I'm almost finished with the season, though. 📺 👗👠
