"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

mail time...such a sweet treat~


one of mine went to get the mail
something one very much enjoys
me on the other hand...
up until lately wasn't something i looked forward to
not a highlight of my day
but on this day
one came running down the driveway
waving something in their hands
its fancy letters one yelled

beautiful painting & card by wrightstuff & her little one
lovely card from mother moon

i can not say enough of what joy it brings forth
receiving kind written words from another
but to top it off
receiving such lovely art as well
thank you two for spreading a bit of sunshine in my day

such a simple act
a  kind way
caring manner
to take a moment in your day
to send thoughful words on their merry way
i have written of this before
and can not express my feeling enough
of such joy this lost art brings
handwritten notes
what used to be just a normal way
of keeping in touch
with those in your life
far more personal
than a phone call
or email
such a pleasant surprise
to see a letter from thee

i wrote a post awhile back...
of how mother moon reminded us of the simple act of writing

to me
its a
a way to connect with others
brighten ones day
lift spirits when needed
offers blessings or shows appreciation
i have been attempting and so far succeeding
at writing letters by hand
something i was always fond of
but when life got busy
a wee little ones were added to the picture
this no excuse any should be
fell to the way side
i longed to try harder
and now i am
so as i posted about this before
i am filled with much delight
and
ask of you
if you ever so wish to receive a hand written hello
i would
greatly love
to ever do so

i love fancy letters, and love that your little one called them fancy letters :) i have sent & received them in the past, but as of late have packed away all my 'fancy making' stuff in anticipation of the dreaded move...

From time to time I receive random acts of kindness from people, and it always makes my day. Something I often wish I was in more of a position to do for the people I care about as well.

I love that your kids call them fancy letters.... it is sad that the simple posted letter has fell by the wayside... and I likewise enjoy your fancy letters to me... they always bring a smile to my face... blessings

"Fancy letters." I love that. There is nothing better than getting an envelope in the mail with an actual stamp on it, from an actual person.

So happy your day was made!
