I have been this way for a few days now, growing over the last couple weeks, but it keeps getting better.
I have not been this happy, or felt so good in…8 years? 9 years? I don’t really know. It’s an alien emotion to me, one that seems odd and strange, and awkwardly out of place. I don’t know how one is supposed to react, really. What am I supposed to do? There are no rules for being happy.
I cannot and will not say why, other than to say that someone here on the SDMB has made me feel so special, so happy, and so fluttery and funny. Someone said words to me that had never been said to me, in a way and about a subject that took my breath away - honestly, I had to get up and walk away from the keyboard, I was so (pleasantly) surprised and shocked!
Anthracite, this is so cool! Woo! I’m very happy for you and I hope this feeling continues for a long, long, long, long, long, long, long (well, you get the idea) time.
I’m so glad that you’re feeling better, Anthracite. Honestly, that’s the best news I’ve heard all day, and thanks to the good karma, I’m happy now too!

No one deserves to be happy more than you, sweetie.
[standard reponse to this type of thing] Good for you. [/standard response]
Yay! Una’s finally happy! BTW, you’re my favorite lesbian-who-happens-to-be-an-engineer. And I wish I knew everything you do about cars. (Someone asks a car question, I give an excellent answer, then you come along and make mine look like nothing in comparison…:rolleyes: )
Love ya! (in a purely platonic, non-sexual sort of way, of course ;))
Una!
I’m so happy for you! Good things can and SHOULD happen to good people. Revel in it. That’s right, get down and roll around in it.
I feel better by proxy!
