A Sweet Gift


Hi, everyone!  A couple of weeks ago I received a pleasantly surprising email from a sweet blogger, Pam from Moments Like These.  She said that she was sending me a Trader Joe's bag that she had bought for me after I had admired hers on her blog!  I couldn't believe that she remembered me saying how much I liked the bag, and that our nearest Trader Joe's is like an hour away! (Isn't it adorable?!)


As if that wasn't kind enough, I was really blown away when I received the package-she had included tons of fun goodies, including a key plate that I had also admired on another one of her posts!  This is extra special, because it was from her father's collection.  I tied it to a little tree, and I enjoy it every time I walk by!  It has the perfect patina that I love!


Although both of her parents are suffering from health issues right now, Pam has the best attitude, and her blog inspires me.  (Please go check out her wonderful blog for yourself!)  That she took the time to send me this 'care package' plus an uplifting note, really humbled me.


I just want to thank Pam and let her know how much her thoughtfulness touched me!  It reminds me that with a little time and kindness, we can make such a big impact!  Who can you encourage today?  Until next time, have a wonderful day!
