Randomness - WOW

I need to do better at putting some of these thoughts down before they evaporate from my mind, lost for good.

Today has been a most interesting day. Up and down and all over.

Some one called the CB yesterday. That was unexpected. 

Well no first I there was a Christmas card in my mailbox this morning with a surprise. 

Just what I needed to do stockings.

Then I had to go pick up from CB. That was way beyond what I could have imagined. I thought just a bit of stuff, maybe a little something for each of them.

No it's boxes and 7 huge bags of stuff.

And an envelope for me. 

I just sobbed, literally, for awhile. Every time I thought I had a handle on it, it would start up again.

How do you show sufficient gratitude for something like that?

I could never say it enough.

And yet the kindness of strangers astounds me.

A woman whom I just met, knew my heart and hugged me with love and warmth.

I cried alot. On way home I had to pull over I was crying so hard.

WOW.

Then Chocolates from my friend, with her card that made me cry. It was just paint and walls to me, the need to help a true friend in need. To her apparently so much more. Again WOW.

I came back, got stuff sorted out and some put away. Lots to go through tomorrow - well OK later today. Deciding to check my email, and low and behold what do I find. Not one, but two messages from Her. WOW. That girl looks amazing. She looks more and more like me all the time. How did that happen? Not what I expected to say the very least.

To passing that along and sharing. Another WOW.

This is first year we've talked at this time of year. How did that happen?

Did the name thing with them and then the lovely challenge of shopping together. Turns out someone got slippers for grandma, not grandpa. So got to get that taken of. And somehow missed two people entirely.

Good thing open 24hrs. I can't decide if I want to go out now when I'm beat or in the morning when I'm tired and it's insane. Christmas Eve. I wasn't going to go shopping today.

It's been a rather full day. Oh yeah there was that package delivered to wrong house, that an unknown neighbour returned. That was something.

It led to opportunity to discuss the belief and existence of Santa. My 12 year old settling on the fact that Santa merely represents the spirit of Christmas - the giving. And that there are indeed miracles all around.

And we won the game tonight. That was nicest of all.

Yes today was a very full day indeed.

Wonder how I'm going to get last of presents finished in time?

Guess what?

I am never alone. I am always loved.

I am passionate, joyful and a responsible woman.

Wow
