Gift Shops

My best friend knows me very well. She’s aware how much I hate gloomy and rainy days. On my last birthday, she gave me a candle gift set with a note that said “Light during dark days”. I am so grateful for that thoughtful gesture because those candles did a lot to cheer me up yesterday.

It was overcast outside and the sun was nowhere to be found. The garden seems so empty without the flowers that are still to come in spring. Instead of dwelling on the scene, I took out one several scented candles and lit them. Within minutes, my room was filled with the heady aroma of spring and for a time, I felt as if enveloped by a warm ray of sunshine and surrounded by beautiful blooms all around.
