Sometimes, when a day has been really rotten, the kind of rotten that makes you want to cry and stamp your feet and perhaps just give up a little, something magical happens, something that makes giving up seem all of a sudden a most unappealing option. For who can give up while they still believe in fairies? And who but a fairy, someone with the most magical of touches, would know that it was today of all days, this week of all the weeks, that you needed a little something to lift your spirits, warm your heart and make you believe again?
Last week, after a day (or was it several?) of things that made me want to scream (some of which might actually have made me scream) a box arrived. And in it was a bunny. And my heart nearly exploded with warmth and amazement and surprise and joy. Because it wasn't my birthday, I hadn't done anything particularly kind or clever or deserving of a bunny, it was a bunny just because. And how often does someone send you a bunny just because? Hardly ever, that's how often. And how often does someone send you a bunny just because on a day that you really really need a bunny just because? A day that the knowledge that people send bunnies just because will pick you up and dust you off and make you smile and forget all about foot stomping and screaming and giving up? Almost never.

That is simply wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHow utterly sweet and charming. Don't you just love surprise pick-me-up's?
ReplyDeleteNow there's a bunny I could love?
ReplyDeleteIt's the gift that keeps on giving. I was feeling a little anxious this morning (I *know* my body likes tea and does not like coffee, but yet, but yet) and then I saw this and felt much happier.
ReplyDeleteShe's so cute over there in Scotland. I think she's a Scottish bunny for sure, no matter where she was born. I bet she likes a wee pint and a ponder.
She is very sweet. And how lovely to receive a present from a blogging friend, especially on a day which makes you feel very cross. x
ReplyDeleteAww sweet!
ReplyDeleteGlad you now want to keep on going, but oh dear lady! Never stop...
yay, you got the bunny you liked..
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice suprise that must have been and what a lovely thing to do, fairy meg.
Presents For No Reason are my favorite kind! And hooray for Meg :)
ReplyDeleteGuess you two were just meant to be! Hooray!
ReplyDeleteAwww, that is the sweetest thing...
ReplyDeleteI love it! that is sooo adorable.
ReplyDeletep.s. I tagged you today if you feel like coming to say hello!:)
The fact that the world works in mysterious ways I think is proof of the existence of fairies, clearly Meg is one. Friends, the interwebs and surprise presents are all wonderful things.
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet :)
