Wow, what a blessed day!
I spent a lovely few hours with Odette, a close friend who came over this morning to give me these lovely birthday gifts, the Devotions book of poems by Mary Oliver and my fave author Richard Paul Evans’ book called The Noel Diary.
She called me up yesterday and she said that she is coming today to visit me. We haven’t seen each other for more than a year now although we get in touch regularly through Facebook. We had lunch here at home and a bit of “kuwentuhan”.
This is the fourth book of Mary Oliver that she gave me. I have several books by Richard Paul Evans but I don’t have this one yet….well, until today. Gosh, what a joy to see her again.
This thick hardbound book of Mary Oliver contains so many of her poems taken from several of her previously published books. Can’t wait to read it. It is not that kind of book that you read though just once, it is meant to be savored and admired. Her words are just so lovely.
It is indeed a blessing to have friends who love the same things that you do.
