Every day and in every way we are given gifts from friends and strangers.
Some timesI receive a comment left on my blog or on my FaceBook Page or a personal email; other times a fun little package arrives in the mail bringing heart felt joy to my walk down the long lane to and from the mail box.
Other times is a simple sharing of someone else’s celebration of happiness…you know those quick little drive-by moments when your soul responds to a strangers boundless joy. A tiny spark attaching itself to you, making the rest of your day warm and lovely.

Yesterday my blog comments, my FaceBook post and my email were full of wishes..Thank you so much! You do warm my soul!
Then Jan from the Poodle and Dog Blog brightened my walk back home from the mail box with a beautiful handmade wall hanging. My steps were light enough to carry me over the mud in pixie dust fashion.
That evening Terry and I took a short drive around our small town of 9,000 people looking at the Christmas lights
Cheerful gifts from strangers, for anyone who wished to enjoy!
I am done with all my baking, cooking, planning, and gift wrapping. Today I clean.
Thank you, my friends, each one of you are a gift!
Your friend,

Blessings everywhere we look! Your card was one of those for us. It is right there in the front on the mantel.
