New Arrivals

I've finished reading a book, a really good book that gave me so much insight on what I've been doing wrong. I hate to be wrong, but I will admit when I am nevertheless. I gave too much of myself and got nothing in return. I was bitter because of this, but couldn't see my fault in it all. Well at first I thought it was all my fault, then I passed the buck when that got old. Now I know, I had a couple missteps and made a few mistakes. I've learned my lesson...I suppose (I won't speak too hastily).

Just as I took a breath of acknowledged defeat and kicked around doubt, a package arrived. Nothing fancy. No bells no whistles. Just plain and simple. It took me awhile to accept it because I wasn't expecting any mail. There was no sender etched on it. So I just looked at it wondering "Did I order something?" "I don't remember shopping for anything?". I didn't. I finally gave in and unwrapped it. Now this gift, it was so unexpected that I didn't know how to react. It provided me with a breath of fresh air and a nice adjustment to my mood and scenery. All that I worried with before became I blur. Nothing to fuss over. I was given something purely for being myself. I wasn't asked for more. Not criticized and forced to give less. Taken at face value for who I am. I was appreciated. No strings attached no small print.

Thanks for sending me the package.
