LIFE is a Gift!

Aaaaahhhh... Life has been filled with Gifts lately, I just look around in amazement, reminding myself that this is my Life.
The upstairs neighbors are gone for a few days. Before leaving, they knocked to tell me and ask us to drink their milk before it expires :D I offered to water their garden (we still haven't received permission to *use* it, mind you) and take out the garbage can. I'm giving them not one single reason not to like me. I'm my charming self without any icky underpinnings. This is a lease I can break without consequence; I shall enjoy this space for as long as I need to be here. As I watered the forbidden space this morning (after finishing The Book and in desperate need for pondering Life, the Universe & Everything) I found a beautiful Lotus in the middle of the pond. There it was. Reminding me in a perfectly timed fashion, Life is Eternal. What a Gift a simple reminder can be!
