Day 261: Grace In Small Things
- Going on a “covert mission” to sneak out, buy balloons and sneak them back into the house for my mother’s birthday.
- Braving the cramped skytrain and bus at prime time with said bouquet of balloons. A big thanks to everyone on public transit who didn’t squash me and pop them.
- Making a Mexican birthday dinner.
- Exceedingly delicious carrot cake with buttercream frosting, decorated in the most beautifully artistic fashion and topped with a handwritten birthday message. I am in awe of this cake decorator’s steady hand, piping skills and beautiful handwriting! (It was from Whole Foods of all places, too.)
- Laughing with your family until your stomach hurts.
Wage a battle against embitterment and take part in Grace In Small Things.
