&nbsp;

When I finished the list, I closed my computer and pulled out a card that I purchased on the way home from work.

&nbsp;

I wrote a love letter to someone far, far away.

&nbsp;

I can't recall writing a love letter before. I know this sounds out of character for the hopeful romantic that I am, but I honestly believe this was a first for me.

&nbsp;

I sealed it the proper love letter way -- with a kiss and French perfume.

&nbsp;

I stared at the envelope on my table and mused over the extraordinary turn of events that led to this letter.  It felt like a fairy tale.

&nbsp;

Although my inner circle tells me that it sounds more like a movie.  So perhaps it's a modern day fairy tale destined for the silver screen.

&nbsp;

As the leading man puts it, "We're just at the opening credits."

&nbsp;

Not The End.

********************

&nbsp;

The Top Ten List was certainly soul-scintillating, but the heart-and-soul-scintillating Love Letter definitely won out.  Over-achiever that I have always been, there will be an extra credit Day 366 in which I will reveal my Top 10, as well as ask for your favorites.
