 Topic: Completely overwhelmed...
Posted: 24 July 2007 at 5:50pm |
Today three random things happened to me that have absolutely made my day, and left me feeling absolutely overwhelmed at the strength of our little (or not so little) community.
Firstly I got home from taking Maya to preschool to find the washing that Amy had so kindly taken home to dry for me last night all dry in baskets on my doorstep, but not only that, she had folded the whole lot. And it was a LOT of washing! I was grateful just for the help to get it all dry, but finding it all so neatly folded and ready to put away nearly had me in tears.
Then just as I was heading out to meet Toni for lunch I got a text from Vodafone saying that my mobile has been credited $20 via credit card. I rang them and it appears someone has randomly topped up my phone, but Vodafone can't tell me who it is. So if it was one of you and you are reading this, thank you, it made my day for the second time today!
Then I got another random text, this one telling me to check my front door step, and on it was a huge bag of goodies for me and the girls. Lots of naughty stuff like Pods and choccie fish and Chocolatte, and grocery vouchers, a massage voucher, a voucher to get my nails done, books for the kids, Sippah straws for Maya, and outfit for each of the three girls and to top it all off one of those funky Gremlins t-shirts that I've been eyeing up in JayJays. Again feeling very,very overwhelmed. And I know some of you are responsible for it and I want you all to know how completely overwhelmed and appreciative I am. It has literally blown me away, I was in tears. I'm good at doing nice stuff for other people, not so good at having nice stuff done for me.
So to our whole community for all the love and support you've always shown me, love you all! From me, Maya and the gremlins (and possibly Willie if I let him in on the chocolate fish  )

 .... I ended up in hospital last week and got some virtual flowers on my facebook page from Paws and I was feeling special. Ah well, I've got Nick home from work looking after me this week so I'm happy.
Glad that the community is out there looking after you Emma - and hopefully the warm happy feelings continue to give you a better run of luck over the next few months.

From the little rumours I have heard, you might be getting back just a fraction of the special things you do to others. Very cool!
And to you, Mrs Anonymous and Miss Anonymous and Mrs Anonymous over there and Madam Anonymity, well done!

That is wonderful! Hope you enjoyed the treats, just goes to show what a special person you are and remonds me of that saying "To the world you are one person, but to one person, you are the world.."

IT is the least I could do.
It just goes to show the warmth that you share can also warm you!
