Everything You Need Is Right There

--by cabbage, posted Nov 11, 2013

I only just found out that a neighbor of mine had surgery two days ago.

I wanted to take her a gift to cheer her up, but I couldn't go out to buy anything. So, I went out into my backyard and picked some flowers. I put them in an old glass jar which I covered with pretty butterfly paper. Then I took them over with a homemade card.

I am planning to make some food for her family later.

It's a good feeling, realizing that when you want to give everything you need is already there!
