Giving Thanks

I feel like I've been saying this over & over, but I'm not sure what else to do, but I wanted to say thanks for everyone whose been reaching out. I know I have tons of e-mails, facebook messages, text messages, and everything else that I need to respond to, and while this doesn't replace that I still wanted to say something. (If I do owe you an e-mail I do plan on respond, at least eventually.) But I also wanted to spotlight a few friends who've reached out recently.

First my co-workers all bought me a plant. (It's a narcissus "paper white.") It was waiting for me on my desk the day I went back to work. At that point it hadn't yet bloomed and I was afraid I'd manage to kill it before that. But as you can see, we have flowers!

One of my favorite bloggers Amber, or to give a little history the first person to ever comment on one of my blog posts, sent me a cute little package full of Canadian candy. I was most excited for the Coffee Crisp, which I have had before, but was even better than I remember. And then there's the fact that this is the first time I've ever seen anything Erin Condren in person, since Amber used her sticker on the envelope.
I also received another package from Lisa, Amber, and Amber. Yes, it's the same Amber as above. In fact I'm pretty sure I meet both Lisa and the other Amber through Amber's blog as well. I'm so excited to curl up in my new matching PJs (actually a mild obsession of mine, I refuse to wear pajamas that don't match) with a cup of salted caramel hot chocolate.
Obviously I would do anything not to be in the situation I'm in and still have my mom here with me. But I do feel blessed to know that there's so many people out there who care, so again... thank you!!!
