thoughtfulness



aren't we blessed when something comes into our lives unexpectedly.... 
like good weather or a package in the mail.  
I opened the mailbox not too long ago and found this lovely vase 
- a totally unexpected gift
 from a woman I had emailed 
when I read her book.  
she had read on FB about my buying myself 
a stem of flowers as soul food. 

 I was amazed, pleased, overwhelmed, thankful 
and wishing I could be this person 
who unsolicited sends something 
to someone just because....
in the moment, an act of kindness.
