Smile
For a significant birthday for my mum, I got her a *really* nice kaleidoscope. All her life, she has always played with them in stores, loved them, sat them down with a sigh as she felt she shouldn't spend the money on one.
After Christmas, I found a kaleidoscope that she was sighing over on sale - at a third the price it usually was. I had to get it.
She didn't even say "Nikki, you shoulnd't have" when she opened it. She squealed with delight and played with it immediately. She didn't put it down all day.
Today is the day she pays her mountain of bills for the business. It always stresses her out. As I was walking into the kitchen, I saw the table with the typical mountain of stress-inducing envelopes. But next to the pile was the kaleidoscope. It made me smile. :)
