"Every sunrise is an invitation for
us to arise and brighten someone's day."
~ Richelle E. Goodrich
For the past
few days, I have been enjoying a shallow container of bright pink carnations in
my kitchen. Every time I see the
flowers, I think of a very special Italian friend who baked a cake for my
birthday -- a ciambellone or a Tuscan
ring cake. I enjoyed the cake, too, but
the flowers have lasted longer. My
friend baked the ring cake, placed the cake on a silver platter with pink
carnations in the middle and then wrapped in all in cellophane. She adorned the outside with a single pink
carnation and a card, and then delivered it to my home. When I think of all the steps that it takes
to pull that off, I am so grateful for her generosity and thoughtfulness.
