Time

A huge box filled with birthday gifts; thoughtfully collected; each and everone picked with me in mind was delivered to me my doorstep. A delightful journey followed- a treasure trove of delights as each one was discovered and savored - one by one.
A mysterious black box was uncovered. It contains an hourglass (30 minutes to be exact) Mrs. S knew she had my immediate attention as the lid was covered with some interesting quotes. The one that brought a smile to my lips (even now!)
