Last Tuesday, a workday, pressing deadlines for both
of us,
especially for me as the end of the school year
approaches, hard work mixed with
bittersweet feelings as
always…Anyway, it could have been a hectic day, when
it’s impossible to pack variety or freshness into daily life
and when the only
thing you want is to wrap things up and
just get a good sleep! But I resisted the boredom,
beat the monster of habit and found an issue…
Yes, time for a
little surprise, a good one,
I’ve so missed this intriguing feeling which is so
cool!
My target? An astonished man, my man, he who
makes my life so special and
beautiful.
Nothing exceptional, just a mini buffet with his favorite
food, sweets, a
little cold champagne…in the middle of a
chaotic day, not so bad after all… And
here I am,
running to cook and set the stage! So, I share with you
the
atmosphere of this impromptu lunch, fully appreciated
by my guest who also had a similar idea in mind and
was in time to offer me this gorgeous white Phalaenopsis
orchid and who so pleasantly surprised me too.
White orchids…My wedding bouquet was made with those
flowers, May the 6th, our twelfth wedding anniversary…
it would be such a pity to lose or postpone this date, don’t
you think? Well, simple pleasures shouldn’t be overlooked,
you think? Well, simple pleasures shouldn’t be overlooked,
life is full of magic moments...
Wish you happiness and well-being!
