Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that's fascinating, right?

Just some promotion for the lasting goodness of the exchanges.

This morning getting ready I smiled at the Joy wooden ornament, the "The Nicest" embroidery, and the colored glass bottles on my dresser - then I put on stripy socks and had some hot choc. All items from past exchanges. There are a gagillion more examples in my home - treasured ornaments for my Christmas tree and special items on shelves and in drawers. Many many items have long since been devoured.

We are a special community and I think this exchange is a joy to participate in.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Up for discussion: Amy just submitted a story for Good Stuff, but it's a (very worthy) fundraising pitch, and I generally don't post those. I'm not 100% sure why I don't, but it's partly because I don't want to pick and choose which causes are good enough and partly because I feel like they are not Good Stuff yet.

Anyone want to sway me either direction?

Because books.

I wasn't sure about it either, Jesse, but I figured it could stand signal-boosting. You don't have to run it, though. I know we usually don't.

It could totally use signal-boosting! Which is why I'm conflicted.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Can you note that you don't usually post fundraisers because you don't like to pick and chose but and you feel like they're not good stuff yet but this one feels like it's already good stuff?
