Day 939

Today, Gus got a package in the mail from his Golden girlfriend in Colorado! When it was opened, my boy lost interest (hoping for something edible), but his Mama shed a few tears. The gift, a tree ornament, came from one of my dearest friends on earth. The artist has been like a brother since we were born and the friendship continues with daily greetings from one of his three Goldens to Gus.

My friend is an amazing artist and is known primarily for his bronze sculptures. This ornament won the Loveland Annual Ornament Contest and being the recipient (via Gus) of the amazing piece, I was so very honored!

Being surprised by a gift is truly one of life’s special treasures! It warms the heart when someone hands you an unexpected present! You realize that you are important enough in that person’s life to be sought out for a gift from the heart.

I love to be the “gifter”! To see the perfect item for a loved one and see the light shine in their eyes when they receive it is simply priceless!!!

They say “it is better to give than to receive.” This  is such a truth in my world, but today was an exception. That ornament will hang in a place of honor all year long! “Five Goldens Ringing”…perhaps it is time for another puppy!!?!?!!
