Thing of Beauty

I received a package in the mail on Friday from my dear, sweet friend, Catfish. I had been expecting it, as he had told me he had collected seashells from the beach at Jekyl Island for my daughter.

True to his word, there were beautiful shells in this box. A flat scallop shell, a beautiful clam shell, a small welk and a smooth sea snail shell. Even a fragile group of dainty barnicle was in this box, wrapped securely in white paper.

Every little piece of beauty had come from his morning walk in the sand, coaxed from their chilly, damp hiding places by his toes.

And then, slid in along one side of the box I found a small box for me. In this small box, a little treasure rested.

It's so nice to be thought of by such a good person. I wish I could repay all the good feelings I've experienced since that very first email many months ago.

Thank you, Sugar. It is truly beautiful.
