Expect the Unexpected

So, if you read my post from yesterday, you'll know that I chowed down on several ginger molasses cookies. These were brought into our staff room by a co-worker. At the end of the day yesterday, I mentioned to him that the cookies were fantastic, and he told me that his wife made them. I raved again, saying how good they were, and I asked him to express my thanks to his wife and I asked him to tell her how impressed I was.

This morning, when I went to my mailbox at work, there was a gift bag full of 6 ginger molasses cookies. How thoughtful was that!?

I think an unexpected surprise is a pretty fantastic way to start one's day. Ya, sure, we enjoy the things we may get on our birthdays or on Christmas morning, but it's those little surprises, those tiny gifts or unexpected notes that really say "I'm doing this because I want to, not because I feel have have to."

I'm going to try and do something unexpected for someone this week... I have a feeling giving the surprise is even better than getting it... But it can't be too much better than a half dozen ginger molasses cookies on a cold, snowy, January morning.
