We seem to be stuck in an ever lasting loop of gorgeous and miserable days. Sharing a sample of the former. I hope you enjoy it.

WONDERFUL!
I was copying/pasting the name of a student from a document, and in the copied text, a symbol separated the letters. I pasted it again, using text only this time, and the result was an amazing chain of words: 'Critical Thinking'.
