Look What I Found!
So I was rummaging through my bag the other day, minding my own business when what do I stumble upon but a loose piece of paper. I wasn’t sure what it was or how it got in there, but I decided to open it up and see what it said.
It said, “You are Wonderful!” There was also a little heart drawn in on the side.
At first I thought, “Hmm… that’s odd. Must be a note I wrote to someone during my Random Acts of Kindness weeks.” At that point I was going to discard it. But then I took another look.
“I don’t remember writing with this color ink. And I don’t remember writing this particular message. I also don’t recall drawing a little heart.” It was then that I realized the handwriting was not mine at all. “How bizarre,” I thought.
Finally I put 2 and 2 together. “Oh! I think I was just the target of a random act of kindness!” Needless to say, I was thrilled.
To this day, I am still not certain if the note was written by myself or someone else. I keep second guessing it. But then I think, even if I did write it, to effectively cheer myself up without doing it knowingly is an extremely difficult feat. If anything else, I can be proud of myself for being able to randomly target myself and still have the success of feeling uplifted.
And besides the note, my day had already been a good one. The note was just the icing on the cake.
If nothing else, this has taught me that my 2 weeks of RAKs was able to make some people feel better. And that’s all I really wanted to know.
SUCCESS!!
