A birthday gift

In the last years, I have noticed that life/the universe/my spirit guides/God (or whoever is pulling the strings behind the veil) comes up with some birthday gifts for me.

A couple of years ago, I received a painting in the snow. On my birthday at the beginning of March 2018, I wanted to treat myself to something special and relaxing and spent a whole day at our local indoor swimmingpool and sauna.

In the afternoon, it started to snow.

I was a bit annoyed. Why did it have to snow now? That was unusual. We had already March. I’d rather have sunny weather so I could stay a bit outside in the sun after the sauna.

When I came home in the evening and looked out of my bedroom window, I noticed the image of two hearts painted in the snow.

It must have been done by the tires of a single car that was driving back and forth. I tried to wrap my head around how they must have steered the car to produce these two hearts. But I couldn’t figure it out.

I took a picture and acknowledged the image with much gratitude. I hope you can see the two overlapping hearts on the left side of the picture. (Sorry for the grid structure; this is from the mosquito net).

The next day, the snow was gone. It had just been there for the picture to be painted. I marveld as I felt as if this whole event with the snow and the car had been arranged just for my birthday.
