What I really noticed is how many emotional presents I got on my birthday. Our culture puts so much focus on physical presents, where emotional presents are certainly different, & sometimes as good if not better.
A good example of one is I got some phone calls, with people wishing me a happy birthday (of course) & saying how they believe in me. But not just saying “I believe in you”… but giving a good example.
Another example is I got a bunch of flowers; delivered to my place (who they were from found out my address), the flowers was a good breed, a beautiful card & I knew & loved the florist. So seriously congratulations to her.
