unexpected gifts

It's the thought that counts. Always.

Sure it's nice to recieve gifts from close ones, but it's the gifts from those I didn't expect that really moves me.

Yesterday I recieved a most wonderful present from someone I care for very much, but haven't had the opportunity to get to know as well as I would like to. We seem to have a lot of things in common, and hard times recently have brought us together. And yesterday I recieved a picture frame containing the words

Thank you

How thoughtful! How wonderful! I am blessed with being surrounded by some truely beautiful people. And despite not always being good at staying in touch or expressing my gratitude I love you all.

Merry Christmas!
