Have You Ever
It's a new year, I figure it's as good a time as ever to clean out my closet (literally), simplify and donate a bunch of stuff that just isn't getting the proper use. Every time I do this, I swear I am not going to let things get junked up again, but invariably, within about 3-4 months I have the walk in closet, well..barely able to be walked in. So I repeat process.
The method to my madness is to pull everything out until it's completely empty, that way as I am re-organizing and putting all the crap back in, I can set the stuff aside that I want to donate. Typically about half way thru I look at the shit sitting everywhere and ask why I got myself into this mess and I tell myself a clean closet is over rated anyways. I don't feel like finishing.
So in the midst of me ho-humming about getting into this boring chore I am handed a very pleasant surprise, a hand written note from 2 of my friends. One of which died last year. I completely forgot about them leaving this note for me, and I also completely forgot that I kept it. At the time I don't know what would compel me to tuck it away, as it's just a silly scrawled "thank you bitch...blah blah" for me having let them both stay with me while they were in town from Cali. What seemed like a throwaway note, comes back to find me carrying so much more significance. My pouting went to grinning. No smiling. No laughing. I quickly thanked the powers that be for bringing me this blessing.
So I am curious, has anyone else received such fun and unexpected blessing like this? Reminders of ones long passed..stuff you didn't even realize you saved..well have you?
