One of my roommates had a birthday today, and he decided to do something special. After he was done with school and work for the day, he made lots of cake and bought lots of ice-cream to share with everyone around him. I called this a hobbit-style birthday because in the first "Lord of the Rings" novel it is revealed that when a hobbit has a birthday, they give presents to everyone. My roommate chose to celebrate his birthday with a generous act of service and friendship because he found more value in giving cake than receiving it.
I am grateful for my roommate's kindness, and that he had a very happy birthday. :)
