This isn't a bad card to receive. I see it as personal physical accomplishment and satisfaction. The cat in this picture takes one of his roses, looks at it, and admires it's beauty. There are plenty more where that came from.
Today is my close friend's birthday. Because I had not bought her a present, I took her out for breakfast this morning and then to a book shop so that she could choose a gift. She enjoys to crochet and has already made some beautiful pieces. She recently expressed a desire to buy a book on different techniques, but since I know next to nothing about crochet, I thought it would be better to let her choose one herself than surprise her with one she didn't want. She was really pleased with the one she chose and after that, we went to the pub to have a few drinks in the sunshine. It was a lovely afternoon. We always laugh lots when we are together. My friend has a wonderfully contagious sense of humour and larger than life personality.
It wasn't so long ago that I wouldn't have been able to do things like this. I didn't have the cash to splash so couldn't pay for breakfasts, gifts and drinks. I have to keep an eye on my money all the same, but today's card is about being secure enough to treat your friends without fear of going into the red. I have enough roses for the moment that I can share a couple with my loved ones.

What a sweet reading! Happy birthday to your friend. So good of you to share the love and treat your friend. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. Will pass your best wishes on.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a case of what goes around comes around, since I have been treated and been shared with for many years. It's nice to be in a position where I can treat them back.
