Surprise
Some people like surprises while others do not. For me, it really depends on the surprise.
This week, when I arrived home from Chicago, I was pleasantly surprised to find my box of goodies from the Caribbean. The box was mailed on July 14, 2011 and it arrived the week of October 10, 2011. Not bad for a 4-6 week delivery estimation.
When the six week marker passed, I doubled the estimate. Figuring in “island time”, it should be at least doubled. For weeks, in my mind, I saw the box sitting on the front porch. Eventually, I let it go, thinking maybe it wasn’t going to make it on the slow boat from “China”.
What a great surprise to find it, intact, without water marks nor glass rattling around inside. As I went through the box, it was like Christmas in October. Fins, mask, puzzle, glasses, mug, t-shirts, on & on. I was back home in the Caribbean. What a great surprise... and great memories.
Somehow, someway, things do seem to work out. I don’t know what route this box could have possibly taken. What a great surprise ~ my treasures have found their way home.
Another great surprise is my eBook. It is up and running throughout the world. On the iPad, my YouTube videos can be seen in all of their glory. It feels good to say, “Go to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or iTunes to download your copy.” A really good surprise!!!*
Wishing you great surprises in the weeks and months to come. Be well... Nancy T.
