After a long day following a stretch of long days it is hard to come home to almost as much heat and just as much work as when you left it.

And facing a long day followed by a stretch of long days (including the ones some people call "weekends") it is hard to come home to your filthy apartment cluttered with to-do piles you might never get to and to-give-away piles you might never get to haul to Goodwill and other similar disappointments of character.

Which is why it is almost miraculous and certainly joyous and a not a little misty-making to come home to a stack of links from other people trying to find happiness amidst their own piles of stuff.

Sometimes, gratitude strikes at midnight. But it almost always hits you just in time...
