III.31 Writing journal (A special gift you have given or received)

02/12/2019 - 3:32 pm to 3:49 pm - Writing diary number 31.





      Throughout our lives, we have objects or activities that we would like to be offered. Often we make a small list to our family for Christmas or we expect surprises for our birthdays. In my case, I received my most beautiful and special gift for no occasion, neither for Christmas, nor for a birthday, nor for a celebration. Quite simply, one day my mother gave me a ring that she had received for these sixteen years old, it moved me a lot that she offered it to me. This is a beautiful gold ring, with a very beautiful small precious stone on top. I find it very beautiful, but above all because I know who gave it to me and what it means. 

Since the day it was given to me, I have carried it on my finger with pride and it is by far the most special gift I have ever received in my life. Often my friends ask me where this jewellery comes from and I am happy to explain that it is a gift from my mother. I think even for her it must be nice to see that I wear it every day since she gave it to me. I plan to keep it on my finger for a long time to come, and why not give it to my daughter myself in the future. It would be unbelievable if this ring were to be passed down through the generations. 

I find that this is really the type of gift that makes people happy and makes a difference for those who offer it, as well as for those who receive it. Besides, I find it much more interesting to have a gift with which you have a bond of affection, than just a material gift. A material gift will please us on the moment and we will keep it for a more or less long time in our lives, but a present that touches us emotionally and has real meaning for us will always be better and will remain in our hearts for a longer time and I think in the end will bring us more joy.
