Margareta e-mailed one of my entries to her extended family with a note and copied me. Once I had used Google Translate on her note (Google Translate gets better every day), I read some very nice things she was saying about the blog. That made me want to keep on truckin’.
At work I struggled all week with a pretty terrible article that I probably should have rejected. But then I ran into another of my authors who made a point of telling me that she really liked the editing I had done on her submission. So I redoubled my efforts to salvage the terrible submission.
And here’s a compliment that made me laugh. My colleague who creates gallery exhibits invited me to lunch with a couple of her external collaborators. As she introduced me, she seemed to stumble at first on what to say, given that my job as an editor actually has nothing to do with her exhibits.
She said, “She’s and editor here … and … uh … she’s interested in … stuff.”
That’s me! Interested in stuff. Here’s some stuff.

As usual, more good stuff! Your posts always make me smile. xoxo
Thanks so much, Two Words No E. I just saw the pinecone-on-granite photo you posted at WordPress. Wonderful! Also loved yesterday’s Facebook photos from the Cleveland Museum of Art. Say more about them?
En underbar blandning….Interesting “stuff”……
Margareta
Thanks to you and Google Translate, I’m learning a little Swedish. “Underbar” reminds me of a an old song called “Wunderbar,” and “blandning” sounds like “blending.” I get it.
Compliments really **are** motivating. Too bad they’re not handed out more in the workplace.
I love your blog! It is varied and full of interest! Please carry on! (lovely flowers, btw. I like the dried lotus.)
I love your your blog, too, both the content and technique, http://asakiyume.livejournal.com. I have learned a lot.
