I posted this photo at Flickr today, and the very lovely Isabel wrote the following:
Have I told you my theory on fears of “bad things?” I didn’t think so.
You fear bad things when you think you don’t deserve the good things that happen to you.
But, you deserve all good things.
And then I got all teary. Thank you, Isabel. So very much.

Geez. Isn’t she lovely? And more to the point, isn’t she RIGHT? You are going to have the trip of a lifetime, and rightly so.

It’s so exciting that you’ll soon be in China! My mom and an aunt (her sister) spent 3 weeks there last summer (traveling through the country - not just in Beijing) and has the most amazing stories/photos.
I hope you have a wonderful trip.

We’ve got another sap over here. It’s a good thing I’m in a cafe, or I would have started crying.
This is so exciting, please do tell us all about it! And have a great time.
