Plan to be surprised

I got a letter today. It was hidden in a plain white envelope with three lines scribbled across the center. My name. My address. My state and area code. At first I was gonna throw it away with my half empty water bottle, an old magazine, and my thoughts. I didn't need them anymore. Something brought me to opening the letter. Maybe it was the hand writing... I thought I've seen it once before. I'm an extremely curious kid and it felt like something in this envelope was drawing me in. Weird, right? Anyways... I finally opened it. I was never any good at opening letters. I used to try and help my mom when she did bills at the kitchen table when I was younger and she always put me in charge of envelopes. Time after time after time I would always rush too fast and end up ripping it open. I guess some things never do change. I was expecting it to be some sort of hate mail. Those are personally my favorite type of mail. =]. But it wasn't. And I'm okay with that. =D. My eyes scanned the page before I read a single word.

No, I don't know who this is from. And I don't know what brought them to sending it. But I appreciate it. The hand writing made me feel comfortable and the style of writing.... Was perfect. I haven't gotten a letter like this in an unimaginably long time. If I ever really have gotten one before. It's funny sort of... I know in past blogs I've written about my beliefs, my theories, etc., and I still hold true to it all. I've had a chaotic week and in ways, I feel like this letter came at the right time. So, thank you.

Here's the thing most people don't understand. It's the small things that mean the most. It's true. So simple as a letter, a phone call, and even a hug, can make a world of difference. Thanks for reading! Peace.
