hum of contentment

I received an email from a friend today. She shared that her kids had been gone for sleepovers and she was able to take a quiet evening for herself to read Reason for Hope by Jane Goodall which I had lent her. [I wrote about it here. It was a really lovely book. She is an amazing person and to read about her calling and her spiritual journey was so enjoyable and uplifting.] She also had bread baking in the oven and wrote "life is good."

I got a little hum of contentment. It was great to hear about her little moment of contentment and resonated with me, it's so nice to feel that happiness for others.
