210/365 with love from Paris

today was a day
I was holding onto my
positive, it is what it is,
attitude by a very thing string

and then I had a letter in the daily courier (at work)

What?

I never, ever get anything in the courier
especially something that looked
like a fun little package.

there was some concern in my area that
we should check to make sure it
wasn't ticking first as I have been
creating waves

no worries, there was no ticking

instead it was a
lovely red envelope
with a tiny gold Eiffel tower
and little shells,
(from Brittany, France)
that still have gorgeous bits of sand
still clinging to them.

to top off this wonderful surprise was
a handwritten postcard
from a friend/co-worker who just
spent time in France.

it was a little thank you for
giving some camera advice in
a Dee-Ann style long winded
overly detailed email,
which frankly I thought she
was still reading and that is why
I hadn't heard back yet!

I wonder if she knows
how much her gift brightened
my day or that a handwritten note
could mean so much.

All of a sudden my get er done
attitude was back with a vengeance and
I had a little joie de vie in my step!

note to self:

self, you must remember and make time to send cards/postcards/pictures more often to your friends and family.

Dee - I was thinking that I hadn't heard from you and then I checked here. What a gorgeous photo, as usual, and thank you for the thank you. I, like you, forget the joys of getting something in the mail and then get surprised and delighted when I do! xoxox Wendy
