gift list

Four cups from her great grandmother, which she had carefully chosen and picked for me,

A dehydrator or "food dryer", 

A perfect chocolate and furit birthday cake, 

A book, "A moveable feast"

The precious presence of ten people,  

And a note, "I hope it keeps your body as warm as your heart" on a heating pad, to end the night with. 

Of course I could not ask for more, but what I love the most about this gift list is what it says about the kind of person I am at the beginning of my 28th.
