unexpected

Today when I got to work, these were on my desk, along with a card and chocolate.
No special occasion.
Not a treat from Husband.
A friend was there when I was not, and left them behind.

On a day with too many things to do,
blustery cold outside,
and the
weight of stress-filled
recent days,
my desk suddenly looked appealing.

My day started with an unexpected surprise,
chocolate to go with my coffee,
and the scent of roses
every time
I entered the room.

  1. I got beautiful flowers from a friend yesterday. Just when I needed them. I hope I can be that thoughtful and in tune.

  2. What a lovely thing...I'm so glad you included the photo. Makes me want to get some for my amazing teaching partner, who has saved me so often - like last week when I was out sick. Thank you for the inspiration!

  4. What a special friend! I love your last stanza,
    "My day started with an unexpected surprise,
    chocolate to go with my coffee,

    every time
    I entered the room."

    Everyone deserves days like this!

  5. Nature and chocolate--healers of the soul. Lately, I've been eating more chocolate. Hope spring break helps you out.
