One of my dear friends had a bad week. I mean a kick you in the a**, "Lord, when will this end" kind of a week!
So yesterday I felt the urge to go and get her flowers.
Yes, it is a female friend. NO, not a girlfriend! It's someone that I have grown to really respect and admire. That I hope will be around for a while! She called me when her computer crashed with ALL of her stuff on it and I knew there wasn't anything I could do but listen.
Today I went and found Autumn colored flowers to bring to her. I cut them and put them in the vase myself and dropped them off in the reception area of her work.
It was so incredibly rewarding to do something outside of myself. Instead of everything being about me, it was such a rush to hope that they might cheer her up, and even though I didn't see her get them, I felt so good about it!
I want to do more things like this. On a whim, outside of myself, caring acts that hopefully will be remembered and make a smile come across the face of someone I care about!
