Now I’m (almost) speechless. ;-) Thanks again to all of you!
I’m as happy as a child about each and every one of your congratulations. That’s what makes life beautiful. And yes, I appreciate little things like this—put together with love—much more than something bought off the shelf. These are personal values that mean a lot to me. Of course, there was also a beautiful card and flowers. And a “survival bag” filled with lots of delicious treats—all things we really like. They really put a lot of thought into their gift. We weren’t expecting any of this at all. We just wanted to celebrate this special day together.
The little things in life—spending time with loved ones—that’s what has true value. And for that, we’re always grateful. That’s why I’m also grateful for this forum and our interactions here, even if they’re only virtual.
Warm greetings to all of you, and may you have a week filled with plenty of time and joy.
Monika
These are the blossoms on the tree in front of our balcony; they look beautiful every year.
