Back to work today – meh, paid the bills, earned my keep, all is right with the world.
The first thing that truly made me smile was when Ashlée showed up with these:
Before Jake moved away he dropped all his daughter’s things at her Mom’s house which overwhelmed her and she promptly took a bag to the Mission Thrift Store which included two items that were very important to me. This happened on a Thursday and I found out late Saturday. The store wasn’t going to be open again until Wednesday so I emailed in hope. The lovely Ashlée, knowing I was out of town, went there and a lovely lady searched the donations and found them, still in the bag and gave them to us. Ash delivered them today. Bobot, as Sawyer used to call him spent time at my first house here with my little man and Jimmy was my sleep aid for years. Both are Scentsy creatures and I have the lavender packs that make them good cuddlers and they will now live at Nana’s house for kid cozy’s.
The second smile and giggle I had was when I posted the picture of my finished afghan or Quarantine Quilt on Facebook. The very first response was from Bob Pike, a splendid musician acquaintance in St. John’s, Newfoundland. It always makes me smile to see the diverse collection of friends I have and the things they choose to respond to. I know some of them are just coincidentally online at the time I post so it hits their newsfeed. Others I can tell, follow. The point is, it pleases me, otherwise why would I share? In the same breath I am supported with bucket loads of love when something horrible happens and appreciated for the silly things I choose to share as well. Someone recently asked me how I manage to maintain so many friends but it’s rather like a garden, different seasons, some pruning, some weeding, some careful watering, some manure but in general I just throw some love out and stand back to enjoy the beauty!
