I get home, I retrieved said box and saw who it was from and about burst into tears. I hoped! I hoped so much and it was! A beautiful basket made by my dear friend Clayton. So amazing! And in true granola fashion, he padded the bottom with wine corks.
Repurpose!
I am so grateful for the kindness of my amazing and wonderful friends. I am blessed in ways I didnt realize I had. Thank you just doesnt seem enough.
It made me stop and think. There are people who are like leaves, only there for a season and usually turn colors before they drop off. Then there are others who are in for the long haul and earn a place to sit at your table. People who make you laugh. Make you whole and lift you rather than tear you down. They love you and take time to fill the broken parts of you with gold. They make you stronger in spite of the chips and cracks. These are the people we keep in our lives. These are the people that keep you rooted so that when the winds blow, you dont fall over.
My blessings are found in these people who have come back into my life despite the fact I had kept them away because of my situation. They came back anyway because they know me. They know who I am and know I am not what my ex and his family want me to believe. They are the reason I am able to make it through this change in my life. It was a change I didnt want. A change I fought so hard to avoid. But you cant make someone love you. Little did I know there were others out there waiting to give me the blessing of their love. They are there. You just have to be open to them and receive the love they give you.
