― Barbara de Angelis
Lately, I have
had the opportunity ― blessing,
really ― of hearing people talk about
others' joyful experiences with great enthusiasm and love.
The most
recent was a conversation with a college friend who shared that her sister, who
is in her 50s, just got married for the first time. My friend sent me photographs from the
wedding, which was intimate and elegant, and worthy of a Vanity Fair or Town and
Country spread. But the best part
was listening to my friend's joy for her sister. She was thrilled that her sister was so happy,
and my friend's delight was palpable over the telephone. It takes love and an open heart to share in
someone else's joy. And it is a
beautiful thing.
