heard from my son at boot camp

thought you might want to know that the very highly anticipated first postcard arrived today. he said it's crazy, but worth it, and he misses us. my motherly heart is so much more at peace now.

thank goodness for the US Postal Service, which can bring such relief for less than 50 cents, and the kindly mail carrier who never once made fun of me for bolting out to the mailbox the second she drove up every day.

oh, and not only that, but in the same batch of mail was the most outrageously luscious bracelet - a gift from my friend Debra at blissmonger.com. You gotta check out her jewelry - I'm trying to figure out if I can sleep in this thing because it's just so dang satisfying to look at it. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5774840
