i waited and he came.

this morning i was screaming and jumping when mr. postman came with my x'mas gift, that was probably the first time i ever waited for a postman's arrival so eagerly. the story began with me not having a door bell, when i woke up this morning i climbed off the stairs and checked, there was nothing there, and then i toured around my neighbour's mailboxes, they all seemed pretty empty, so i guess today's mails have not been delivered yet. i came back upstairs and thought i would go wait downstairs until he arrived, since without a door bell he wouldn't leave the package in my mailbox, and i would have to go pick it up later in the post office, and that would mean i could only get it after x'mas. but then i changed my mind, i wrote a note and stuck it on my mailbox, asking the postman to call my number if there was a package to be delivered.

but i missed his call.

when i realised that i missed the call, i cried out loud and called him back, asking him to come back, luckily he hasn't left the village yet, and i ran downstairs. and there he was, like a santa claus he brought over my x'mas gift with the kindest smile. i basically bounced all the way back home.

if you want something, and then you get it, it's never so much a big deal. but if it involves a bit of waiting, along with a bit of wishing, it means so much more when it is finally yours. life is never going to feel better when you walk into a shop with hands full of money, being able to buy whatever you want. the great things in life, they never come easy, but they make all the efforts worthwhile. i was happy like a little girl this morning. :) it was such a nice experience to have, when i waited, and it happened.
