• Birthday Bloomers

  For my birthday, I not only had a long call from T, I also opened my door to find these blooms the next day. Delivered in an apple green box, they came as budded stems and looked like this two days later. I almost threw away the vase (something was clunking around in the box when I threw it in the trash). Blue makes me happy.

  Having a Sabbath birthday was quiet and precious. I napped in the afternoon and D invited Mom and Dad over after evening service for a cooperative meal, into which I had no input. Everything was yum, including ham barbecue, and it was apparent that a Coldstone Creamery ice cream cake had been hiding on the frozen premises since the day before. It had layers of coffee ice cream hammered with chocolate chips and layered with dark chocolate cake and smothered in truffle icing. Coffee ice cream cakes make me happy.

  People were very thoughtful. I got a brown, v-neck tee with sparkles and scrawled French script (“La Liberte, La Paix, L’Amour”), dangly blue-green and silver earrings, a navy tote, money, cards, cocoa butter with pineapple extract. Thoughtfulness makes me happy.

  Family makes me happy.
  
  Happiness is 46.
