Nomatterwhatness

Dear Swiftly Departing Week,

Boy, you sure had a lot of tricks up your sleeve!  Everything from stressful workplace scenarios to taxes due on a notably low-income year to opening up one's front door to find it covered in animal pee.  You wrenched multiple loved ones to faraway places, you highlighted my various failures in life, and you straight up just cancelled plans.

In summary, you tested my nomatterwhatness.  You wanted to know if I could or would continue to show up every day, acting out of integrity and kindness, in the face of such unrelenting difficulty (really, Week?  On top of everything, getting harrassed by thugs right before an audition...in the lobby?!).  And the answer was a resounding yes.

So, in light of the physical principle that every action has an equal or opposite reaction, I think the stage is set for grand gestures of love, sudden blessings, wonderful fortune, and cookies.  Definitely cookies.

Yours truly,
Audrey 

***Addendum: That night, a stranger who identified herself only as "Z" handed me a bag of raw vegan chocolate macaroons.  Definitely cookies indeed!
