Day 184: My hands have only now stopped shaking long enough that I can type. I've just cried off all of my mascara. One of the nicest things that has ever happened to me *ever* has just happened. And I don't even know who to thank. What happened was this: I was in a meeting at work this afternoon with my campus' principal when all of a sudden the office door opened and the principal's assistant came in. I just figured my time was up for the meeting, so I was getting up to leave when out of nowhere one of my *favourite* musicians, Drew McIvor, was suddenly walking into the office, ukulele in hand. Stunned as I was to see him (what the heck was he doing at the college??) I was also really excited because, as I say, he's awesome and I love his music. I figured he must be there for my boss. But...no. He said hello and handed me a brown envelope and proceeded to sing. No, not sing, *serenade* me. It took me a few moments to register what the heck was happening. It all felt extremely surreal. Like something out of a bizarre dream (who gets serenaded at work in the principals office by a hot guy playing a ukulele??). But it was real. It was really really happening. When he was through the song I was encouraged to open the envelope, which I could barely do as my hands were trembling so much. Inside was a weekend pass for Summerfolk, a gift certificate for the general store, and a beautiful postcard. No note. No indication as to who I have to thank for this beautiful, beautiful thing. The only thing I have to go on is the sticker on the front of the envelope: "From The Twelve (12) Giving Goddesses", and the message passed along by Drew saying the whole thing was from "people who love me". Friends, I am beyond overwhelmed. I am so, so moved, to the very core of my heart. I don't know who to thank, but if you are out there and you are reading this: thank you. Thank you so much. This was just so lovely, and I'm so touched. I will never forget today as long as I live. So. Much. Happy. #Summerfolk #DrewMcIvor #365happydays
