Today I Tied a Pale Blue Ribbon Around a White Envelope

Today I spent a quiet afternoon tying a pale blue ribbon around a plain white envelope. Soft light came through the window, and even the corners of the envelope looked bright on the desk. The ribbon felt a little cool against my fingertips, and each time I touched the knot, it made a small, smooth sound. Watching the pale blue line rest on the white envelope made the feelings inside me settle little by little. When the curtain moved, the ribbon shadow moved too. It was still a quiet moment before giving anything away, but the envelope seemed to hold a gentle feeling that had not become words yet. Taking my time with it felt just right for today's light. By evening, I placed the envelope carefully on the shelf. The pale blue knot glowed softly in the white room, and each glance made my heart feel rounder. I hope I can find another quiet little flutter like this tomorrow too.
