Carpe diem, marvelous and beaming

- Hearing from all over that the weather turned glorious on the first day of April. Seize the day, indeed!

- Quite possibly the happiest postal worker ever cheerfully processes my package, and thanks me by saying "Have a marvelous day!" He always refers to himself as Mr. Marvelous and I thank him by name as I take my leave.

- The youngest acolyte beams when hearing the important role she will have in the Maundy Thursday service at church - extinguishing the candles in the sanctuary at the conclusion and leading the congregation to the courtyard for an all-night watch fire.

Have a wonderful weekend, friends, and may all good things come your way.

Lynn,
Happy workers (whether at the post office or elsewhere) can make a real difference in brightening the days of those who pass through! Marvelous indeed!

Have a wonderful and happy Easter!

I'm smiling second hand smiles.

Mr. Marvellous - love that!

I'm so glad the weather is fine which will make the Maundy service even more beautiful.

Happy Easter, Lynn!

I will absolutely CS the day!

Lance -

The first time I went into this particular branch, I met Mr. Marvelous and Mr. Fabulous. They have kind of a schtick they go through for customers, and is quite entertaining. One day there was a long line and dour employees behind the counter and the woman in front of me asked to those around her, "Where are Marvelous and Fabulous?"

I hope you have a wonderful and happy Easter, too, Lance!

Annie -

I'm glad you are smiling first or second hand - that puts me in mind of that second hand rose song. :)

Talon -

Oh we are having glorious weather here this week - a high of 86 degrees. A lovely Easter weekend, indeed.

Mama Zen -

Make that Easter!

Lynn said...

Meredith -

I hope your Easter is joyous, as well.

Joe -

Isn't it wonderful when someone makes you feel better just being around them? That was my experience at the post office.

I hope your Easter is wonderful, too.

She was so pleased to be the one to lead all the grown people outdoors. It was a lovely moment. I so enjoy being involved with the acolytes.

Folks like this are very good at lifting the gloom-
I need more folks like this around on weeks like this- when internet won't let me on, n I have to miss the holiday fun-
"Simply Marvelous Darling!" Remember Billy Crystal?

Lynn said...

Riot Kitty -

I have had that happen with blogs on my list, too, this week. A couple of days delayed.

There was some weirdness with photos, too.

Snaggle -

I am always happy when Mr. Marvelous is behind the counter at the post office. Not only is he eternally happy, but he is fast and efficient, too.

I do remember that from BC. :)
