You want to know what's delighted me lately? Getting your update has really floated my boat. I've missed you and it was a nice lift to hear from you.
My heart goes out to you about your flooding. My basement was flooded on June 1, 2000 - 33,000 gallons of water! My response was to get my canoe out and paddle up and down the street. I needed a lift and gave the neighbors something to talk about besides their own flooding. So I can imagine something of what you've been through. I hope you've been able to salvage the valuable items.
Are you no longer with Time? Are you freelancing? How are your Lyme symptoms?
I look forward to continuing to hear from and about you.
Good morning - I live just outside of Boston and am a huge fan of this column!! You definitely brighten my days with your humility, honesty, and insightful articles. I will happily subscribe to Substack :). Yesterday, I reconnected with a couple who I hadn't seen since pre-Covid and it was a wonderful reunion. I became friendly with them through their son who was a high school student of mine. Sadly, he died over 20 years ago at the age of 21 yet I've remained friends with them over 25 years.
Susannah! We're HOME! And there's NO place like it. I am Cal, a surfer via Ireland. And it gets stranger: now I'm in Florida. "Always look on the Bright side of life!"
Could I remark that knowing a language is always a gain for us and we should make an effort to keep the knowledge. In the early 1950's I did what is now called an internship in a German machine tool factory that led to some quick learning of German. This helped me a lot when I was already working and had to deal with German companies. I am now retired but still try to maintain my knowledge by subscribing to some German sites on the internet. May I suggest that you also make an effort to keep your hard-won French?
I am a retiree and a widower who has some health problems.
I’m Carol, in SW FL. I’ve been delighted lately with the magnificent blooms beginning to appear on my Christmas cactus plant. It belonged to my mom who passed away 4 years ago this month. When I see the blooms begin to form I know she’s smiling on me!
Looking forward to sharing “life” with all of your friends! With this new forum I feel connected in a way I’ve not felt for a long time!
Sending positive vibes for a tremendous following!
This week, I'm delighted that my daughter preventive mastectomy went well, with a negative pathology report, a recovery faster than I thought it would be, and a procedure less destructive that it could have been. She is a single mother of 3, and a doctor who spends 10 hours a day in an OR. The family and the profession alone would be a lot to juggle, then came the need for the surgery, then Covid at school, her mother deceased (no help there), in other words we need "It's not just you", and for that we are grateful.

Greetings, Susanna and everyone. I'm Elinore, an ''early boomer'', a visual artist. Transplanted myself from DC to Israel 50 years ago, after a year on a kibbutz and finding an Israeli husband.
I don't know how this reached my mailbox, but it sounds very intregueing.
Hi today I was delighted by my visit to the chiropractor and the sun being out. Im commenting from Hawaii where it’s been raining for a week. I love your newsletter and I’m excited to hear your stories. You inspire me to keep my own newsletter going! Wishing you all the best on your new adventure!
Excellent. I look forward to your insightful comments!!
Love this! I’m so delighted to now have you apart of my Substack world
Nice to see you back again, Susanna! Wishing you and yours well… David

Susannah, you are the female complement to Ted Lasso. If you haven't seen it: DO SO!
This is so exciting! More Susanna is the best news.
