Hi Friends:
This past weekend I found $20 (!!!) in my pocket when I was doing the laundry. And then I found one last piece of cake in the fridge. Which got me thinking of happy surprises—serendipity—and what are ways you can give a happy surprise to someone else. I’ve thought of three:
1. Putting candy on someone else’s desk. It has to be good candy, though, none of the junk, months-old candy left over from Halloween.
2. Writing someone a letter. It could be just a postcard, but man is it nice to give (and get) a real letter.
3. Packing someone you love a bento. Because of the labor-intensiveness, it has to be someone you love, preferably a little kid.
I kind of like the idea that little treasures are everywhere, waiting to be discovered. And that we can create a little bit of magic and hope in other people’s lives.
I hope you guys have a great week, and that lots of wonderful surprises greet you every day!
