I must admit that I am disappointed in myself for my lack of online communication since the start of the new year. Between kids, life, work and travel I have just been juggling what, at times, feels like the weight of the world. And as silly as this sounds…our Florida weather as of late has completely put a damper on my efforts. I can’t seem to find motivation under nasty, dreary, cold, wet, gloomy, grey skies. They stall my mood and productivity. Okay…off my soapbox.
This morning, I awoke to the blessing of a little sunshine which put a much needed pep in my step on this Tuesday. I settled in at my desk with a warm cup of coffee and a determination to be radically productive. I was off to a decent start. And then an unexpected delivery came. A brown bubble mailer arrived with my name on it. It made me smile before I even knew what the package contained. The envelope was chock-o-block full of one of my favorite things…banana Laffy Taffy! I felt a smile stretch the length of my face and my mouth began to water. This was the exact little spirit lifter that I needed today.
I have a sweet friend in Michigan by the name of Summer Lacey who simply thought of me this week. She made my day. It reminded me yet again how important it is to let the people you love and care about know how you feel. Summer, you are a precious woman. A positive, kind and warm spirit to all who know you. I am grateful to have met you and shared time with you. I am touched by the fact that you thought enough of me to pick out your banana Laffy Taffys and send them my way. You have a heart of gold and I am blessed to call you my friend. I thank you for your thoughts and your gift. It was special to me. Really special. Thank you!
Mmmmmm!! The Banana Laffy Taffy!! I bet at IUSA, we ate that whole place dry of those things!! Summer that is so awesome that you remembered something like that!! Dawn is so right, you are truly a precious woman and great friend!! ( and thanks, my mouth is watering now too!! Off to raid my stash!!)
<3 I have eyes full of happy tears. You both are such treasures! So happy to have y'all in my life! (And aside from my hubby, you are the first person I have ever heard of that actually likes the banana. He'd be so proud! lol) Glad to see things are brightening up for you, Dawn! Sending you lots of hugs from Arkansas. :)
Awwwww, you are so so sweet! I knew you would love them! When we were sitting in class and you offered me banana laffy taffy I thought right then, well I know who to send my banana ones too, lol! Thank you for your kind words as I have really needed them today! And I feel the same towards you. And I hope that FL sun comes out more and gets you feeling a little bit better! XOXO : )
awww I love Summer too. She is awesome!
