So, I was going to tell you about my little trip up the mountain today were I got a little lost and almost panicked, before turning round and finding a more worn path and then the main path (note to self: don't stray from the path!).
But, when I got back into town and made my way towards my apartment, I spotted my boss. We had a little chat before he proclaimed that I had post.
That 4 letter word I love to hear! It brightens me up completely. Makes me want to run up and down the street proclaiming I am not alone.
I HAVE POST!
Someone remembered me!
This week has seen the arrival of postcards from Chris, 5 wonderful books from Amazon, a postcard from my parent's holiday earlier this month and now...
A letter, discs, chocolate and a candle.
I unwrapped it all and just sat there. That's right. I just sat there.
Smelling the candle.
Reading the letter.
Feeling the love that came with making the effort to post something to me.
And only 1 of the items was what I 'needed' (ok, so I don't actually need Neighbours discs, but they make me happy!).
But you'll be surprised to hear that it wasn't this that made me the happiest, and nor was it the chocolate.
It was the letter. A very short loving letter from my mum. Just a small note to say a few things. Nothing too special or different to what she might have written if she was leaving me a note at home.
Maybe that's why that's the most special part of the package! Maybe having a little bit of family and love around me in a very far away place made all the difference.
I think so!
And I've just remembered it's Thanksgiving today, so Happy Thanksgiving everyone :)
