Fairy dust and climbing shoes
Posted on | January 15, 2008 |
Another really long day.
And then, the best thing ever. We started our climbing class tonight, and as an early birthday present DH got me a new harness and shoes. In between trying on pairs of shoes–and while waiting for the sales guy to dig through his inventory for my size–I picked up a climbing magazine and leafed through it. Then, while reaching to put it back, this little gift was sitting right there–where the magazine had been.
I’ve always adored Rosa for doing this kind of thing and have secretly wished I’d someday be the recipient of a little random bit of whimsy. But to find it today was simply perfect.
I was so exhausted, bummed out, and feeling defeated in general. Let’s just say it was a looong day.
So we went climbing and it was glorious, and now I have a little magical bag of glittery gold fairy dust and I can’t stop smiling.

Wow Chrisitna! how wonderful! I am so thrilled that fairy dust found just the right person to go to. And that is what Found Art is all about, turning your day around, making someone smile.

What a delicious, tingly thought — you have a fairy godmother! I would sprinkle some of that fairy dust in my hair first thing in the morning and spend the whole day feeling like a fairy myself. Have fun sparkling!

Someone knew you needed a little bit of a lift today - and not just by the climbing ropes.

That is very cute! I responded to your comment over on my site, I’ll repost it here (and you can delete it if you want) because I can’t find your email address at the moment and I am lazy like that- So in relation to the school sending hom info about parenting classes:
OH I guess I wasn’t very clear about what the teacher sent home- my mom asked me the same thing. What was sent home was a standard thing that is offered to ALL parents. I wasn’t singled out by anyone as NEEDING parenting classes, but I can see how it seems that way from this post. Thanks for you your protectiveness of me though! Makes me feel loved.
