Most people I know can't let go of a heap of shyt in order to be present to such wonders as that magnificent eclipse. I'm sure it wasn't easy to stay up so late and be up to your duties the next day, but I'm impressed and delighted to meet someone who lives like that ... what an attitude you've chosen!
Being able to let go of baggage and then open oneself fearlessly to possibly wonderful things is a large dollop of wisdom, a gift of huge proportions. I'm so sorry for all the paperwork & kids left to raise themselves, but your report of a silver lining will stay with me and no doubt lead me to silver linings I might have been ranting too much to notice.
Thank you!!
