I am wallowing in gratefulness this morning and what a nice change to write about something positive in my blog. The past two days have been unexpected...As I mentioned in my previous blog, there is a pair of Michael Kors boots I fell in love with and in my lust, I posted about them online. To my surprise, one twitter follower, whom I've never interacted with, sent me a lovely message and a generous $$ gift to put towards the boots, then another generous gent sent me a gift card to also put towards them.....then I had a regular client contact me for a 2 hour session that same day....With all that, I thought I was ahead of the curve. That date allowed me some extra spending money and those gifts allowed me to also buy myself an early Christmas present.Then of course my luck ended, my dog injured his leg, lol. I'm laughing not because of the injury, but because of my luck.... I get steps ahead, then fall more steps backwards....I couldn't get a vet appointment so all that was left was emergency and the cost to xray and visit there would have been over 600...There goes my extra money....I vented on twitter about this....and as soon as I was about to head over to emerg, my vet hospital called and said they will fit me in....his visit and xray there was $405....another twitter follower who I wasn't even following text me to ask if he could send me some $$ to help with that bill. I was dumb founded! This gentleman had shared with me how a dog had saved his life, and he had the $ to help, and this was his way of paying it forward.....The kindness and generosity of these people has left me shocked, crying, giddy, and so very, very, very grateful. Things like this don't usually happen to me. I'm used to rude comments, put downs, slander, and other negativity, not generosity and kindness. Perhaps the tide is turning. The other good news... My dogs injury turned out better than expected. He has no break or fracture...he just needs rest and metacam for a few days........again, thank you, thank, thank you, to whomever is watching over me, to him or her, and those generous gents......I am humbled by your kindness and I promise to pay it forward.
