Feeling Love

 

Flowers, Friends, and Feeling Loved

Coming home from a rough day of appointments, I was completely surprised to find deliveries waiting for me - flowers and gifts that made me pause and smile through the exhaustion. What wonderful friends and family I have.

My niece and her husband started it off with a beautiful flower arrangement. I was stunned by how lovely it was, and so touched by their thoughtfulness.

Then came another arrangement - this one from our close friend group, affectionately known as the Shiny Happy People. In a hilarious twist, they didn’t love the flowers that were first delivered… so they sent another bouquet! Double the blooms, double the joy.

Next came a cheerful surprise from my best friend: a fun game and an adorable diamond painting craft kit (which I do love doing - it’s like tiny therapy for my hands and brain).

Another dear friend sent an incredible food gift: fresh veggie soup, warm rolls, cookies, and more. It was comfort in a box, and I could feel the care packed into every bite.

A few days later, one of my oldest friends sent yet another bouquet of flowers. By then, my house looked and smelled like a tiny flower shop.

My sister-in-law sent me a cute adult coloring book of cats!

Every delivery, every gesture, felt like a little burst of sunshine in my heart. I felt so lucky. I felt such love.
