True story—I was home alone, cleaning house, when my soon-to-be-ex mother-in-law phoned to tell me, yet again, what a wonderful man and good father her son was, and how it wasn't really his fault that he left me for another woman. I bristled, but kept my cool. When I got off the phone with her, I called a friend. I said, "That woman insists on pushing my buttons. I'll have to put hearts all around my house to remind myself to keep my heart open so I can forgive him . . . or I will never heal." I got off the phone and continued vacuuming. But anger rose; and the more I thought about it, the angrier I became until I exploded loudly with a string of four-letter words that cut through the quiet house. I stopped when I realized the printer in my home office had started up. First I thought, omigod, [my son] is home and he heard what I said. But no, he wasn't home, the room was empty. I was definitely alone and baffled. My computer was NOT on and hadn't been used all morning; yet, the printer was going through the motions, getting ready to spit something out. I waited, wondering what could possibly be printing. To my utter amazement, it was one, single, tiny heart in the top left corner of the page. ♥
