I had the nicest thing happen to me last night. I had been posting on Facebook about wanting to read Dan Brown's new book. I said I was too cheap to buy it in hardback. Someone suggested the library. Eeeek, what a long waiting list!
I had updated all my farms, fish tanks, coral reefs, pets, and assorted addictions I have on FB. Then I had a message. A man I know wanted my email address again. I gave it to him (again) and promptly forgot about it. Later I remembered and checked my email. I had a gift card to Amazon waiting for me! I was able to order my book and am now waiting unpatiently for its arrival.
Wasn't that sweet? It sure made my day. I did feel a little awkward about it at first. I emailed a friend for her advice and she said I should just accept it and say thanks...more or less what she said anyway. I guess I'm not used to people doing nice things for me, especially virtual strangers. I told my sister about it and she thought it was great. Then I told my mom today and she thought it was very nice indeed and she didn't even ask me if I offered any "favors" in return ;). So, I'm taking it as a very nice gesture and something that just brightened my week.
So, dearest LBT and FB friend - THANKS! You're good people!
I hope everyone has a thing like this happen. It reminds you that life is good and so are the majority of the people who wander this earth.
BTW, if you "Facebook" feel free to send me a friendship request. You can click on my badge on the left of this page or find me: Poolgirls Journey is my FB name.
