If you are like me, you answered "it depends".
Yesterday my UPS man delivered a box to me...not highly unusual because I'm always ordering something online, right?
But not recently though, hmmmmmm. Maybe it's a mistake and meant for another address. No... it has my name on it. CURIOUS?? I was too!
I opened the box to find a card from a friend and these luscious treats! Let me tell you they are as good as they look! Strawberries + chocolate = YUM.
In all the people we come in contact with over years and years of our complicated lives, I still marvel at the wonderful friends we make - those that stand out and above - who love us in spite of our "uniqueness" - who seem to know just when we need a hand, or a shoulder to lean on - they send special packages wrapped in love - they make us laugh til we cry - they teach us lessons - and allow us to love them back making us both better for having been friends.Yesterday my UPS man delivered a box to me...not highly unusual because I'm always ordering something online, right?

I am so blessed to have this person in my life - and no surprise, her name? why...it's "Joy" of course. Thank you my dear friend, you never cease to AMAZE me in so many wonderful ways.
Hug a friend today, surprise her, make her laugh - it makes you both feel good.
This is a gooood surprise anyone would like to receive. I loved reading your post Linda. And of course your kind words on my blog keep me inspired to continue in this beautiful journey in art. It is a blessing to have friends like you...Joy is blessed! Thank you so much for taking the time... Hugs

Just found you through the artist blog hop (yea, I'm slow going and still working my way through it!). What a delightful surprise.
ReplyDeleteWIth your interest in art, I'm wondering if you would consider joining a community art piece (I'm extending the deadline until the end of april). I would be honored to have you. If you have time and interest, please check it out here:
