JOY

My SIL mailed me a box of See's Candy LAST Monday. I have been waiting for it, impatiently, expectantly. Ever time the door bell rang, I ran. Every truck on the street caused me to pause - could that be my candy? I checked the mail twice a day, maybe the mailman overlooked the box on his first delivery, maybe the mailman would put the box in the big mailbox and we hadn't seen the key when we got the mail. I was on my treadmill one afternoon and thought I heard the doorbell, but no one came down to tell me the box had arrived, and so I kept running. Sigh. Days passed and still the box didn't come.

Then the fear settled in.

WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THE BOX????? WHAT IF IT GOT LOST? WHAT IF SOMEONE STOLE IT?

My mom is here, and she assured me the box would arrive, assured me nothing had happened to it.

This morning, unexpectedly, when I wasn't even thinking about it - the doorbell rang - the box arrived!!!

Rapture!!!!

Sometimes a song is the best way to express how one feels. Go here
