The Unexpected Gift

Posted on September 17th, 2007 in This And That

I wanted to post a great big HUGE Thank You for my friend Esined, who sent me a belated birthday gift that I found in my mailbox this afternoon. What a special and fantastic surprise to discover a gift just for me, in personalized wrapping paper no less (which is a first for me, it literally had ‘Shasta’ written all over it). I was thrilled and quite honestly skipped all the way home from the mailbox!

Inside the very cool just-for-me wrapping paper was the book 101 Things To Do Before You Die by Richard Horne. I was of course thrilled, especially since I know she put some thought into this gift and selected it just for me after seeing it at a little odds and ends store. It’s totally suitable considering how reflective and goal-oriented I get around my birthday. It always feels the the start of something new in my eyes, maybe because of all the years I started a new grade in school right around my birthday, or because it’s exactly during the time when summer ends and a new season begins. At any rate, this gift is BEYOND suitable for me, and I am touched and flattered to receive it.

Thank You my friend, for bringing me a smile today. Your sweetness and generosity touched my heart and I am so pleased to be getting to know you. I look forward to meeting you in the near future

Hugs And Kisses,
Shasta

Even though my weekend was a little blah and nothing much exciting has been going on, it seems my life is filled with love and friendship. I talked to V this morning for a bit, and then had a very looooooooooong phone chat with the darling Padme. I was feeling a little melancholy today and everyone has been brilliant and affectionate right when I needed it the most.

I’m very fortunate, of this I am sure.
