Just One Paragraph (13/30)

I received my first birthday gift today. My birthday is not for three weeks, but my thoughtful friend gets excited about giving things and to wait is simply too hard. She picked out the most beautiful, flowy nightgown in the prettiest pink linen adorned with sweet rosebuds along the neckline. I love it. It's perfect. It's so me, yet it's something that I would never buy myself. I think those are the kind of treasures that make the best gifts of all. Unexpected. Unnecessary. Unbelievably thoughtful. So I'm thankful for today's gift...I'm going to enjoy the nightgown, but everyday I am thankful for the gift of our friendship.
