Pleasant Surprise Yesterday!

A friend from school thought of me yesterday. I got a message on Face Book saying that she had a Garfield Item for me. I was touched. To think that someone I don't see very often thought of me really meant a lot to me. As you can tell from the pic above, she brought me a Garfield Staple Remover. Of course I LOVE it! I love it so much that I am keeping it on my desk at work so it doesn't get destroyed by my children.

Its amazing how a simple gesture can mean so much! I was feeling kind of "Blah....ho hum". You know that feeling, the one where you feel like its the same stuff just different day. So, to Michelle I say Thank You sooooooo much! I can't tell you how much that meant to me. I love the gift, but what means more to me is the fact that you thought of me during a day that you were spending with your hubby. That means so much!

I am really blessed. I have an awesome family and a great set of friends (which are like family to me as well). Sometimes you don't realize how lucky you are until something so simple and sweet happens to you. I think it's God's way of saying "Wake up! You matter to more people than you think!" So, to that I say "Thank you God for the wake up call!" I just hope the rest of you have as wonderful of a wake up call as mine was! And it doesn't even have to be with a gift, maybe you hear from someone you haven't talked to in a while. Don't wait until you get your subtle wake up call to feel good. Call up a friend you haven't talked to in a while and tell them how much you missed them. It might mean as much to them as my staple remover means to me!

Thank you again Michelle!
