Very rarely do people surprise me in ways that result in a pleasant feeling. I suppose that is because people don't usually think about others before themselves. I don't know why it happened today, why it happened at all really, but a co-worker I talk to only every once in a while (we work in different areas) thought of me when she didn't have to.
I was boring it up in garden when she came up with a box of chicken from Church's. They have a Tuesday two dollar deal that nearly everyone in the store takes advantage of. I couldn't believe it when she said it was for me. She tried to explain that she didn't get me the spicy flavor and I was talking right over her "I don't care! Thank you so much!".
It is no secret to anyone at the store that I love me some food. One of my managers jokingly called me "Mikey" one day because I "will try anything". But more than any love I could have for food, the uplifting sentiment from being given something without even asking for it, without expecting it or it entering my frame of consciousness...very cool is a non-eloquent phrase that works. Of course I wanted to give back and thought I could get her a sno-cone, but I needed to know what flavor she would like. Unfortunately she has cold sensitive teeth so that isn't an option. Now I have to find out what she likes. This gesture will not go unrecognized!
