Happy Happy Happy Mail...

About 10 years ago, I made a conscious decision to limit the amount of people who really enter my heart. At that time, I decided that I didn't want to continue to let ordinary people get close to me and then break my heart. I made an effort to really get to know people, analyze characteristics and make choices about people in my life. This process is not an easy one, being born and raised in the mid-west by a caring family....and I am one of those people who is a sucker for "the packaging & marketing" so this wasn't so simple! Looking back now...I honestly can say I don't think that I passed up any acquaintances that would still be in my life today.

When I made this tune-up in my life, it really made the people, who are genuine offering up real honest friendship connections, stand out. Don't get me wrong, I have made a few connections, the last 10 years have not been a drought...

I would like to share with you something that happened to me this week that brought a smile to my face and a warm fuzzy feeling to my heart.....ok here goes

I have been trying to dig my way out of a mountain of paperwork from being gone for a little over a week. Paperwork is not my favorite task, this is no secret. It was one of those days, I had a plan to get so much done and it just wasn't going my way, I ended the day with not much accomplished. I get ready to go home from the shop and noticed I had a box delivered...this is usually a good thing....right? RIGHT! I noticed the label on the box and my heart began to flutter! I couldn't wait to get home to crack that baby open!

I rushed in the door and opened the box and this is what I was greeted with...

I had ordered a few Sweet Talk cards so I was thrilled to get them but under those little cards was a packaged wrapped up with this pink velvety ric-rac ribbon and I knew what was inside....

A few weeks back Janet had her closet re-done and did a post on her blog about her beautiful dresses and I told her that I would love to have one of those....and Ta-Da...

Isn't this one of the most beautiful things you have ever seen in your life! These photos don't do this justice! It is just exquisite! I mean when I uttered the words "I would love one of those dresses", I never imagined in a million years that I would be receiving one from her in the mail.

I called her to express my gratitude and I told her she was in BIG TROUBLE, cause she really started something....I was going to be addicted to these and need many many more! :-)

I know this was was a long way around telling you about my happy mail package, but back to the beginning of this post....Janet, you are GENUINE and one that I will gladly allow access to my heart and girl....you are a KEEPER! Thank you!

Isn't it nice to know that there are people in this world that genuinely care about others!
