On the other side of the World....

There is a girl out there- on the other side of the world- who I wish I could meet.

We are the same age.
We have the exact same number of kids.
We love the same type of sport.

I found her blog when I was looking up Triathlon Blogs....and am so glad I did.

She just completed a sprint triathlon on Sunday and I just want to give her a big
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
She did an amazing job and has trained incredibly hard for this day.
 I'm super proud of all she is accomplishing!
{You can see her story on the day here!}

I am continually amazed by the people I have met through this world of Blogging.
I have had comments and been sent e-mails...always encouraging and inspiring me.
I've also learned a lot from others and connected with people who I never would have "met" otherwise.
And there is such talent out there!!
I have met writers, artists, photographers.
There are runners and triathletes, those into the style thing of things (which I'm not too great at), and incredible  cooks.
There are those of you who post an encouraging word or 2 on your post which inspire me or get me through yet another day of routine.

I enjoy learning  from all of you....
even if we seem worlds apart!

On that note.....
I got a package in the mail yesterday!!!!!
{You have to know~ I mourn the loss of letter writing and posting packages.
My little black mailbox usually contains bills and junk mail...and I think with all the online banking I'm finally doing, even my bills hardly come through the mail anymore.}

So when I found this in my mailbox at the end of the driveway.....

....all the way from here......

...I was ecstatic.

Still am.

And it made my day, my week.

HA!

It made this entire new month!!

Thank you so much  Saskia for your package and note.

It meant more than you know!!

(Fun Note: Upon receiving a phone call from me~sharing my Excitement over my package...my sister sent me a link to here:

Letter Writers Alliance

It's WRITE up my alley.....seeing as how I long for my letter writing days.

Take a peek.

It will make you miss the "old-fashioned" means of communicating.

What a wonderful thing is the mail, capable of conveying across continents a warm human hand-clasp.  ~Author Unknown
