One of my senior friends, who now resides in a senior-living facility, continues to work as a specialized consultant in her niche area. After years in the corporate trenches, she now channels her skills and experience into providing remedies and mentorship to newcomers. Her routine is naturally fluid she moves as the work calls.
This week, she had a consulting session planned at the office. However, a sudden call followed: an invitation to stay for the next day as a guest of honor for another event. It was during this second gathering that she was felicitated with a large, thoughtfully planned bouquet.
By the time she returned home to her facility, it was late afternoon, and her neighbors were all tucked away for their privileged nap time. The next morning, she finally drew those beautiful, surprisingly fragrant flowers from her bag and placed them in her living room. The space was instantly transformed.
When a few friends dropped by later that day, the sight of the arrangement changed the atmosphere. They assumed someone truly special had sent them for the occasion, and they felt a collective sense of joy just being near them.
My friend who has undergone a total "inside-out" transformation in how she sees the world suddenly understood the "why" behind the series of events. The late call, the sudden change in the program, and the receiving of the bouquet on that specific day were all part of a larger design.
In an era where social media hypes up specific "days," there is something deeply grounding about receiving a gift with no strings attached. The room breathes with fresh fragrance, the colors of nature fill the eyes, and a simple gesture creates a ripple of happiness for everyone who enters.
It’s wonderful to look at life through this lens, isn’t it? A sudden shift in the schedule was simply the universe's way of ensuring the flowers arrived exactly the D-Day and when her friends needed to see them.
