The Joy of Unexpected Mail

 I find joy in simple pleasures. It's part of my personal motto and is included on my blog header. In the past two weeks while I limped, grunted and groaned with a sore knee, I received two unexpected envelopes in the mail. Those of you who enjoy blogging, and all the wonderful people it connects you with, will understand how delighted I was by these thoughtful women. The timing couldn't have been better - just when my spirits were low! The first envelope came all the way from Guam to California. It contained a handmade shamrock pin, beautifully stitched, and a lovely note. I wore this token of friendship on St. Patrick's Day. It was a sweet reminder of the Trinity and what a blessing friends can be.

The second envelope came from Oregon. It also contained a handmade item. Isn't this towel sweet? I immediately hung it on the oven handle in the kitchen.
It adds hominess and charm.

Thank you, Kelley and Linda, for thinking of me and brightening my life!

 Every now and then it is nice to be reminded that you're thought of and wished well. I know how much it meant to me. Random acts of kindness bless everyone. Want to join me in surprising a few people next month? It'll make your heart smile.
