Random Act of Kindness
When I came to work yesterday, there was a mailer envelope on my desk with a post-it note saying “Hope this brings a smile to your face.” No name. No mailing address or return address.
Inside was a t-shirt that had a picture of an eagle and the words “Bald & Magnificent.”
It did bring a smile to my face.
I still don’t know who gave it to me. Nobody recognizes the handwriting on the note or admits to it. I wish I knew so I could thank them.
I have to admit that it meant a lot to me. I’ve been going through some things (all minor in the world) and feeling the emptiness now that I’m not actively parenting. A bit useless, a bit left behind. Anyway, someone out in the world thought of me, thought enough about me, to go out of their way (time/money) to get me something. It was just what I needed.
Whoever that was, thank you. It’s appreciated more than you know.
I will also take what it meant to me and pay that forward.
