Flowers on a special day

Right now I’m enjoying the most beautiful flower arrangement. They are gifts from people I care about deeply for. My friends Linda and Tom sent me a large arrangement last year but this year it was even bigger! The colour of the orchid is stunning, I really like the deep purple and it is so well matched with the dark grey pot, stones and the other plants. It’s so heavy that I feared I’d drop it.

The roses are made of some cloth which means they will always look so lovely and as they do add to make the arrangement to what it is I’m happy for that beacuse they couldn't be replaced.

Beside the pot arrangement I have two lovely bouquets. One is from my dear parents. I have to admit I had the opportunity to pick it out myself.

The other one is from my colleagues from work and was a total surprise.

What can I say – with this beauty given to me – how can I feel anything but loved and blessed?

I also want to thank everyone else that made my Friday so special: Maggan, Annelie, Petra, Micke, Christina, Emma and Jacob. And I do know a very special box is coming my way from Burr Ridge.

The past two weeks had been rough and I am well aware that this ride isn’t over yet but Friday was a day of hope, warmth and friendship.
