The Sheila Variations

I am psychic or something

Not only that - but I am SO HAPPY, and so TOUCHED.

Today, I received (just now) a gift of 2 books from one of you people out there. (Unfortunately, because of screen names, etc., I don't know who my benefactor is!! So I am going public with my thank you note.) Sometimes it's the random kindness of strangers that really stabs you in the chest. (In a positive way, I mean.) I opened the gift and tears flooded my eyes. I am so TOUCHED!

I am also, frankly, psychic.

The first one I opened was John Locke's Two Treatises of Government. The only reason I know the principles therein is because the Founding Fathers used his ideas so extensively - so I put the book on the Wish List, just so I could have the actual SOURCE material around.

Thank you, thank you!

And secondly, I am so THRILLED - but the second book was Stephen Greenblatt's Will in the World.

Whoo-hoo! I just mentioned it earlier today and then 2 hours later, it arrived. I felt like I was an 8 year old on Christmas morning opening up these gifts.

I cannot WAIT to dig in.

And to the reader kind enough to think of me, and to send me these gifts: thank you, thank you, thank you.

It's put a huge goofy smile on my lips!!
