Hey Little Birdie!

I was at Starbucks the other day and watched two women sitting and talking. One had brought the other a beautifully packaged gift and surprised her friend with it stationed in front of her chair when she returned from the restroom. To see the woman delighted with such unexpectancy was sweet. I could hear tidbits of her exclamations, and they mirrored what mine would be in that situation – “The box in and of itself is so cute. It’s enough right there. Who cares what’s inside.”

Anyway, it filled me with such pleasure, such gratitude for being a woman. You just don’t see men often greet their friends in a coffee shop with a surprise present wrapped exquisitely. And what a gift it is to find favor in a piece of who you are… in how you were created. The simplicity of it all gave me a contentedness that I needed right then and there.

I never got a chance to sneak a peek at what was inside. But in my mind, it was something like this. One of these beauties from the etsy shop, Local Library. They are amazing and might be the perfect gift for the friend you are meeting next week for coffee…
