flower

I had a birthday almost a week ago and I became 31. Thus far, I have never hidden my age. But this year is a bit different. Only one year made a big difference although I have no idea about the reason. The birthday of 31 is just bigger than every birthday before. The day made me wonder what my life is, what I want to do not only just now but also throughout whole my life, and what my goal is in the long run. I do not think I have one obvious answer, but all of sudden I started to ask myself about these questions.

Also, there was another big event on the birthday. I have almost never been given flowers for my birthday before. But at 9:30 on the morning of my birthday, the postman came and delivered a big basket of flowers. It was from one best friend. I was astonished to see it because I remembered that she had a big exam on the day and I guessed that she was too busy to remember my birthday. I appreciated it, and I was almost crying then.

In addition, I had a coincidence. One day before, I met two close friends and they celebrated my birthday at a restaurant. They gave me a set of preserved flowers. As I said, I had never been given flower for my birthday, I was also surprised then as well.

Back to the flower basket, I was also surprised at the coincidence. Different best friends gave me two different flowers for my birthday. I wondered what it meant. Did I forget flowers in my life these days? My mental situation was lack of flower? Maybe, yes. I need to keep flowers in my mind all the time even though I have a tough time.

Every experience gives me a lesson. The gifts from my friends are beyond the object of flowers to me. They taught me an important thing. I cannot forget the gorgeous flower in my mind. I am one of the luckiest person in the world to have great friends.
