Words could hardly describe what I felt while reading these two messages: surprise mixed with admiration and fear, a shock of joy! This is a very poor description. I was transported with joy into a state of well-being or an indescribable euphoria and a profound sense of peace, with a new outlook. No! A renewed outlook on everything.
