Great, wonderful, fabulous news

You know those days you have where you feel like you are on top of the world or even feel like you set on the shoulders of giants? I had a day like that Friday. I went from having a really bad day thanks to my cold running down my energy level, to having the greatest day in my student career. In the midst of lying down to rest and filling myself to the brim with much needed H2O, I decided to get up and check my e-mail. In my inbox was a letter from a former instructor and friend that read, "Dear Ms. Amy Evans Greiner, You are now an official author of an article that will be published in an international academic journal!" My body was soon filled with adrenaline and excitement. It was so hard for me to grasp the concept of accomplishing some thing so great, so wonderful, and so fabulous.
I first called my husband to tell him the wonderful news. No, I could not wait until he got home to tell the astounding news. As a matter of fact, I went down my cell phone contact list and began spreading the news. My children began dancing and jumping in the living room shouting with excitement. Our home was blessed at this moment with good cheers and lots of overwhelming joy. A moment like this doesn't come very often. We embraced it with all of our might and celebrated together as a family. My friends and family from a far, sent me messages of congratulations. Mass e-mails were sent out in the departments of communication and marketing to spread the news to all faculty members. I was extremely touched by this acknowledgement from the instructors at Bradley. It was as if they too were joining in on the celebration. At this moment, I was so touched and honored by all the congratulations and the positive feedback from everyone. This day was definitely a moment to not only remember but one I will never forget.
