因檔期衝突，“帝王穀遛彎”暫停下回分解。因今日是務工單位的員工節(Employee Appreciation Day)，員工們互致問候，互相感恩。一早上班，打開單位內部電郵信箱，收到一大些Thank-You伊妹兒，心裏熱乎乎的。尤其讓人走心的是，工友卡麗娜，雖在月前調換了工作，也發來一張電子卡片，還附上一段話：I am sending you a Thank-You card for all the support and guidance you have provided me. I miss being directly in your unit，but know you are right around the corner. This does help. You are a terrific friend and an asset to our division.
看了卡麗娜的卡片和留言，hold不住有點，寫下一段話回複她：That was so nice, Carlena! I do appreciate all you have done for me and for everyone around. Especially like I said before, you have the magic wand that makes people feel good. You're the glue that holds us tight. Wherever you might be, you bring all of us together, in heart or in person, in the past or in the future. Being with you is always a blessing, and I am one of those who're blessed to have you as a co-worker, a supporter, and above all, a friend.
中午，飯後百步。在單位百年前的小樓(現當作陳列館)前，碰到婦聯主任兼管家紅辣椒(Chili)，發放冰淇淋，以表達對員工們的感謝！
今日也是國際婦女節。特向朋友圈中全體婦聯的，無論是奶奶級大媽級妹紙級還是花朵級，無論是一線天半邊天兩重天還是一手遮天，祝你們節日快樂！有幸和你們相遇相知，感謝你們有容乃大，放任我在圈中忽悠扯談。你們的手工點讚和表揚批評，讓我對爭取下屆醬科(junk)文學獎提名，充滿信心！
悄悄話，特別感恩我家掌櫃的，好不容易，整明白了，終於讓朱之謂當了幹部。哇，解放區的天，是明朗的天，解放區的吃貨，天天像過年。
圖片是在Torrey Pines State Reserve遛彎時，一路所拍。也算是一個小驚喜：在靠近海邊的山坡上，滿山遍野，野花盛開，讓人心曠神怡。正是：
小小驚喜亦動心
方寸卡片也溫馨
良言一句三冬暖
天地人和靠感恩
