I love surprising people!
And it's so fun to take what could be just a "ho hum" ordinary day for somebody and make it one they will remember. That is the absolute coolest.
It was hard to choose who the recipient was going to be. I bought the flowers in the morning during my Costco run but waited until the afternoon to pull the trigger.
I chose my daughter's Daisy Scout Troop Cookie Mom, Cynthia, because she swooped in and took over the volunteer task from someone else and has done an incredible job. This was our troop's first year of cookie sales so the learning curve was huge. And Cynthia has -3- kids (7, 5 and 2) and works part time as a pharmacist. Yeah, she's got a lot on her plate...
Cynthia has been completely organized, optimistic, and inspiring to the rest of us. She gives "shout outs" to the girls and the parents for their efforts and keeps us informed of how things are going. And she sends really witty emails, to boot. Cracks me up. Thank you, Cynthia, for the giggles!
I feel so fortunate to have her as a friend and as our "Cookie Mom". It was a total pleasure to drop off some spring blooms to her. Especially on a day when school was cancelled due to "snow" and there was no snow... :)
How about you? Who are you thankful and grateful to? When was the last time you surprised someone with an unsolicited token of appreciation?
"Do good, feel good". It's really a "win win".....
