Birthday Surprise

Tuesday, August 15th, 2006

So we were sitting in the living room Saturday night, relaxing after having 40 or so people over for the post-season softball game for the girls team - our daughter, 14, has been on the team for several years, my DH is a coach, and Weekend Jewelry sponsors the team. The phone rings - groan, we just want to relax.

But the phone call was a lovely surprise. I had recently sent a necklace to a customer - it was a gift for her sister’s birthday (3 weeks away). She couldn’t wait till the birthday to give the gift - and she and her sister were calling me to tell  me how much they loved the necklace. It made me feel like a million bucks. They loved the necklace, which was wonderful - and they took the trouble to find my phone number and call!

Aside from how pleased I was, it reminded me how special it is to get a heartfelt thank you - and that there are plenty of times I should do that too. It means the world sometimes!
