I received a Christmas card. NO that is not awesome...although ;)
Nope, this was a very special card. It was by an anonymous fellow villager. He or she wrote:
I give 100 euro's (our currency, about 130 dollar) to a special person every year. THIS year I decided you should receive that amount. I know you didn't have an easy life, so you deserve some happiness!
Included was....YES 100 euro (130 dollar) !!! WOW that was just awesome, I am still totally flabbergasted I was shaking, crying and laughing at the same time, card plus letter in one hand, the money in the other!
This SO made my day, it is SO special to just receive the money from an anonymous giver. I will spend it on something very special, something I will use often and makes me think of that anonymous, wonderful person. With Half I will be able to buy a camera (on sale, it is sale time here), my old one is broken so....YAY!!  (read my latest post for the update )
With the other half....I don't know yet, but will be spent on another item I need but couldn't afford.
Hugs from Marian/Dutchy, a farmgirl from the Netherlands :)

Lifes not about the breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away.
Just a small town country girl, farmgirl,loggergirl, trying to live her dreams. :)
P.s. I've been playing around with the spelling of my name ( weird I know) and I've decided that I will stick with Hannah for good. Sorry I got you all confused. Hugs!! |

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Good for you Marian. How awesome that someone cared enough to Bless You. With all the greed and hatefulness in this world it is heartwarming to know there are decent people still willing to care. God is good! Happy Birthday Jesus! I love your picture of your Christmas Tree!
Blessings and Peace,
