Today's OneWord: Glowing

The compliments that Helen was given toward the end of her shift left her absolutely glowing. She had not felt so fulfilled and so elated since her wedding, or even since the birth of her first child. She happily sashayed to the back counter, humming a made-up tune to herself as she scribbled one last order of the night down on a pad.

"Someone's on Cloud Nine," one of the chefs laughed, watching as the waitress brushed a strand of gray hair from her forehead while she hummed a little bit louder.
