something i didn't mention about making up my d&d character yesterday was how the whole gang here thought he was a hoot with his familiar-in-a-jug octopus. i mean, i thought all of their characters looked really fun, but they just wouldn't shut up about how much my wacky idea left theirs in the dust.
and i almost said, "i only came up with all that stuff because i rolled such a bad wisdom score and decided i had to literally act a fool about it" -- but that would just have made them double-down by saying how great it was that i took a total fail of a roll and used it to make up something hilarious.
there's a glow i get when i hear them talking about me that way, and it's partly about being tickled and proud of myself, but it's also partly -- maybe mostly -- seeing the glow they get out of feeling lucky that i'm in their lives.
that's some real riches for you, you know? i treasure every one of them ... but the way they treasure me makes it a squadzillion times better.
i hope you have this, whoever you are out there reading my babblegushery right now. and if you don't, i hope you'll believe me when i say you could have it too.
we got here by choosing this, after all, the whole worthy acres crew of us.
we decided we were going to be this happy together.
xoxo,
claire
