Treasures hidden within.

Three beautiful brown boxes left on the front porch like Brown had no idea of the untold treasures that lay hidden within.  Brown barely made it out the front gate before a madman unbolted a door, threw it open and claimed the prized boxes.  To the dining room table he ran.  "Let's have a box opening party!", he yelled to the house.  His enthusiasm was met with little more than curiosity.  Assembled for the debut of the box contents he gingerly opened each bringing an item out for all to admire (most of all him.)  As each box was opened, contents removed then repackaged he remembered the wonder of childhood and it felt like Christmas.  Each box was filled with so much more than the objects contained within.  He would have a place where he belonged and opportunity.  Beyond the magic of the box opening a prayer, a mantra, a wish was whispered, success at his endeavour.

Thanks for looking and yes HE stamps!

  1. WooHoo-I am SO glad your boxes made it there! I was thinking about you yesterday, as I remembered it was "the day". Guess what-even after 3 years I *still* dash to the porch, listen for the truck (I hear him sooner than my dog), and pet each item as I unpack!
    You have an amazing gift with words. I do, indeed, wish you every success with your business!

  2. Great story! That's pretty much how I felt when I received mine too. My dog wasn't nearly as excited as I was though.

    Have fun and best of luck!
