Inspiring

The smallest gesture can inspire and invigorate.  Today the gesture came from my cherished friend 4-states away.
A moment ago, I heard someone graveling around out front.  What is the mailman doing in my driveway instead of across the street at the mailbox?  Sure as Christmas, there was a small parcel on the porch.  Excitedly, I perused the address thinking it could be something for my dearly departed renters.  But no, Care MacMurchy.  Well now, only CheriO would send me something that was addressed to "Care."

Uncommon Goods.  Hmmmmm.  Something green.  Yes indeed, a parcel from my Cheri O.
A glass nightlight!


The three things I love:  The artists - Vawn & Mike Gray - call it REBORN GLASS.  What's not to love about that theme, for cryin' out loud!  Isn't Rebirth the theme of all our lives?

Second, my heart has ached - dare we say, yearned - for the perfect nightlight.  Hyperbolic, admittedly, but nonetheless, the "Life is good" light in the guest bathroom has been lacking.  At the risk of sounding like a looney-tune, I have mused out loud how at some point I'd find the just-right nightlight. Today it came to my very own doorstep.  In my brief experience, always, always the smallest longing is answered in due season.  This unexpected delight is yet another instance of "Every heart's desire met." 

Finally, CheriO, you are the Bomb!  Thank you for throwing me off my game today.  Love the surprise prizes.

REBORN GLASS
from the sea.
Are you kiddin' me,
Perfect!

BFF to the highest powah ~ I've already plumbed the depths of Mike and Vawn's glass creations. As of today, their art is now my favorite gift site. Coming to Mothers and birthday celebrators across the fruited plain.
HaPpY Mother's Day, one and all.
