I received a gift from a friend that I put on as soon as I opened the package, sitting in my car in front of the clubhouse where I had to pick the package up. Sometimes I forget how much something little can make someone feel special and I was so grateful that she took the time to think of me and remind me I'm loved.
While I was at work later in the day, I heard a song on the radio I haven't heard in so long. Faithfully isn't a song the mix station we listen to ever plays. I choose to think it was him. It came on at a time when I was working the desk by myself, so I was able to truly enjoy it without having to explain to anyone why I was teary-eyed. I smiled and thanked him. He has to know how much I needed to hear from him. I laughed because following that song is one of the songs I hate the most right now, "If I die young." One of my girlfriends chalked it up to the radio's sense of humor. It just all felt very good, very familiar, and filled my heart to the brim with love.
That night after work I headed to a yoga class. I am always drained after work, but I know that going makes me feel amazing so I try to shove the tired to the side and go anyway. I am so glad I did. The class was packed! I mean only-a-few-inches-from-your-neighbor, we-all-kept-scooting-to-make-more-room packed. But the class- the best! The music mix that accompanied us was a mix of iron and wine, mumford and sons, florence and the machine, and other fantastic artists. We did a lot of chest openers, which is exactly what you need after a day sitting at a desk. And I left feeling euphoric.
Talking with my husband after my day, I couldn't stop jabbering about how all these amazing things happened to me and that I felt like more great things were on their way. I am so, very blessed in all area of my life that it's funny how I don't always recognize it.
Thank goodness for amazing days like this.

You don't know me but I found your blog through other widows. I just wanted to let you know that I'm right there with you... songs on the radio do seem to speak to me and I hate that "If I die young song!" It made me smile to know that someone else hates that song as much as I do. You've made me want to take a yoga class tonight.
