It's all about the glee, baby
Those of you who are my G+ friends may have noticed that unrulynarrator has once again helped me figure some stuff out. He's really good at that. A bunch of things all came together, some of them years old and others just months old, and changed from being separate, confusing issues, to one big picture that finally fit together and made sense.
The answer is glee.
Glee Noun:Great delight or pleasure.
Synonyms: mirth - joy - gaiety - rejoicing - merriment - gladness
To be more specific, though, the answer to my questions is childlike glee. It's the thing. It's the special ingredient in life that I require. I'm drawn to it like a moth to a flame. Usually it works out well, sometimes not, but its presence is always appreciated. When I find the things that inspire glee in those around me, I do what I can to provide that inspiration. It's not really at all altruistic, though. I get something out of it, for sure.
Glee is my 42. It was there in front of my face for a long time, I just didn't match it up with the questions that it answered until a discussion with unrulynarrator brought it into focus and *SNAP* the puzzle pieces fit together like magic. He's good at that, our unrulynarrator. This is the 3rd or 4th time he's managed to help me figure something out. It's pretty cool.
But now I know. Now I don't have to fret over those questions any more. I don't have to examine and poke at those parts of my brain and wonder *why* something is working a certain way. Now I know why. Now I can accept it and stop keeping constant watch without the fear that things will change while I'm not looking and OMG then I'll be in trouble!
Hooray for the glee!
