Thank you for making this life beautiful and this pain bearable

[sabrinamari]

There was a beautiful, amazing, supportive gift basket waiting for me at home last night.

It was full of good things....loving things...*indulgent*, sensual, happy things...

It was brimming over with love and hope for a much, much happier future.

I LOVE IT!

Especially today...I am so glad that I have the physical embodiment of the love of my friends.

Thank you, dear ones:

Willowoak, for the warmth and scent that I love,
Chuck and Kristen, for the comfort of good bread, sign of plenty to come,
Ryan, for the wine that is actually lifeblood, vitality, and hope,
Evaliz122866, for the salt that will protect my home from all unwanted influences, wrapped in its special, powerful silk,
Amy, for an exciting indulgence, good to all the senses,
Ingridsummers and Wild_Place_King, for the kitchen delights that I love so much,
Gwisteria, Brett and Amanda, for the essentials of an anchored daily life!
Onyxtwilight, for iron protection that I so sorely need,
Mimosa, Micki and Aaron, for a symbol of fruitfulness, and of the beauty of the Gods,
Rob and Di, for a container of pure, pleasurable love,
and Owllady13 and Jason, for WARMTH!

I feel so hopeful, even though I’m sad. With this much support, I will be OK.

Thank you. I could not be more surprised or more delighted.

I also want to tell Seedmoon that his gift kept me going through some really rough, lonely evenings without adding on the pounds. Thank you, dear.

Did I Forget To Identify Anyone's Goodie?

I have this nagging feeling I missed someone in the letter. If so, please email me with anything I didn't attribute, and I'll tell you who sent it.

I will also apologize to the person(s) in question, most profusely, with the excuse being only that we were getting ready to leave for Portugal and things got a bit hectic.

Glad you liked the housewarming basket!

Lots of love...

This meant *so* much to me! Thank you with all my heart.

That key has been sitting in Hecate's cauldron on my shrine for quite a while, now. Should have plenty of oomph. :-)

Not technically part of the basket, of course -- hangs on the front door or doorknob. You probably knew that, but just in case... :-)

I'd've sent a horseshoe if I had one to spare, but those are harder to come by. Also heavy to ship. :-)

Apparently I can't end a paragraph today without smiling. :-)

Veeery good news---if Heacte can't protect me, nobody can. It's on my inside front doorknob, looking all the world like a scarlet guardian---perfect for my small apartment. A horseshoe would have been too big, I think. This is *perfect*.
