“Surprise!” Lately, I’ve become very sensitive to small, delightful surprises. Someone offers a kindness like paying for a few groceries in the store, a friend offers to help move some furniture without even being asked, a paycheck comes in a little earlier than expected, a beautiful conversation happens, a chipmunk perches just outside my window as if he’s a patron at my patio table, my husband surprises me with something beautiful. When I’m looking for these things, I see them and receive them. When I’m looking for trouble I tend to find that pretty easily, too. Focusing on the small happy things is a kindness to myself. It’s self-love.
Love, Cheri.
