Give it

Over the past week I have received a couple gifts from friends for absolutely no reason.

The first gift was from my friend Aimee. It is a little carving of three monkeys. One has his hands over his ears, the second has his hands over his eyes and the third has his hands over his mouth…how appropriate is that? I love it and it sits on my kitchen window sill and I look at it everyday.

The second gift was from Jen, a silicon swim cap. I never thought I even wanted or needed a new swim cap, yet a silicon swim cap, until today when I put it on my head. Ohhhhh, it’s like butta.

Receiving these gifts was just that, a gift. What a treat. What a surprise. How very thoughtful that someone went outside of themselves, their day and their busy life to think of me.

It’s not everyday we get gifts for no reason. When is the last time you gave a gift to someone for no reason?

Go ahead, give something to someone you care for today, just because. I promise…they’ll love it.
