Unexpected

I am one of those who anticipate things.  I prefer to know ahead, to foresee what's to come and be prepared for it.  Not knowing makes me uneasy, despite knowing that there are things we can never predict.

But sometimes good things come.  And the more unexpected they are, the more meaningful they become.

Today, I received something unexpected.  A nice surprise from somebody who was moved by an act of mine -- an act that I never thought mattered much to anyone.

But to this person, it made a huge effect and she made certain it will not go unrecognized.

To me, it's just one of those things that maybe I do deserve but never saw coming.  Nonetheless, the unexpected nature of the reward was what made it very special.

This person may never have the chance to read my blog, but I hope she knows that deep in my heart, I am truly grateful!
