TOTW76 For Me?

This may sound like I’m tooting my own horn, but I really don’t care.  I love to make other people happy, and today, I won big!

One of my many nieces turned 18, today – mid-quarantine.  She hasn’t said a word about it being her birthday because she’s too heartbroken over her school deciding to have a virtual graduation.  She has worked really hard to graduate from high school with an International baccalaureate, which is apparently, so impressive I’ve never even heard of it.  She’s gone beyond AP classes and participated in theater among helping her mother run the family store.

So when I realized that today was the 11th and I hadn’t sent her anything, yet, I felt like a horrible human being.  I looked all over the internet to find a florist that delivers to their home/store in the middle of nowhere.  It was frustrating and expensive, but the joy her mother tells me she got from receiving them makes it worth 10 times that.

And that’s what brings me joy.  I love making people feel special.  Especially young people.
I’m so high on the joy of giving joy.
