I am so blessed

I cannot begin to tell you the flooding of emotion as I opened up this package from my oldest and dearest friend Denise.  She had called me and told me that I needed to watch the mail  box.  So I opened this package to find a Van Gogh note card box - "Oh that is nice some cute note cards as a thank you after just spending the weekend together recently- so I opened them up to take a look and found a note inside telling me how much our friendship meant to her and that she wanted me to have this gift as a token of it.  The gift WAS NOT NOTE CARDS!  As I opened up the package I began to tremble as I recognized what it was - a hand crafted necklace by none other than my dear friend Nina - Denise knows the connection and love I share for Nina and had gone and purchased this lovely nest and twig necklace for me as a surprise.  It means so much when someone REALLY knows you- there are very few that do.  I cannot begin to explain what a treasure this gift is to me - a reminder of my years of friendship with Denise and my special bond with Nina - it makes the nest complete.  Denise, my treasured friend (who reads my blog daily and supports and encourages  all my artistic and altruistic endeavors)  I thank you from the bottom of my heart. BTW it hasn't left my neck!
