Gift From Hollie

This afternoon I went to the mailbox and found an envelope with this beauty tucked inside. It was sent by Hollie, who I’ve never met in person, but have connected with on various journaling lists over the years. She’s someone I definitely would like to meet.
Anyway, she sent this with a note, saying she’d had it for a couple of years but had thought it was meant for me.
Aside from the joy of getting something fun in the mail, a little gift like this is a physical reminder that someone has been thinking about you. It’s such a nice feeling to have that sense that someone is remembering you kindly.
I think that’s why we all like to get gifts. It’s not about “the stuff” of the gift, but about the idea that the person thought about us when selecting it. Or, like this, that something reminded them of you.
It was a beautiful part of my day. Thank you, Hollie.
