An Unexpected Guest and Our Favorite Things
I love the quote,
Life is like a box (or tray) of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get.
The other day at our holiday party we had an unexpected guest. She arrived by Uber, walked into our space saying, "Oh my goodness, my palms are sweaty and I am so nervous to meet you."
Welcoming her in with big hugs, she felt more at ease and settled in. She told us, "I flew from Nashville to come to the holiday party. "
She went on to say she followed the blog and quoted one written some five years ago when my dad went to heaven. She said that is when hers did too. It was a Winnie the Pooh poem, which she saw again shortly after reading it in a random place, and felt it was her sign from her dad too.
I told Clara, how empowering it was to hear her story, as sometimes I wonder if anyone even reads the stuff I write. This day I felt a strong sense, it does matter.
Isn't life just like a box full of beautiful chocolates, you never know what you are going to get.
