Treats from a Stranger

Have you ever gotten something from a stranger? LOL that sounds funny.
I don't mean like a one night stand, where you came away with more than you bargained for. Or a dent in your car door, that was most certainly not there when you left it just to run into Target. I mean, have you ever gotten flowers and chocolates with a note that says
Because you're Beautiful, sent to you at work, from someone you may or may not know?
I am assuming they're from someone I know, because most strangers do not know my name or the address of where I work (although that would be really easy to find out)
I don't think I'm going to really ask around, either. I love not knowing. Well, I love it today--
yesterday I was playing Sherlock Holmes, making it my life's mission to find out. Now...not so much.
I will tell you this, though: The next time you have the opportunity to do a random act of chivalrous kindness, DO IT! and there are tons of opportunity for these said acts, and you know it. Make someone's day. You don't need to see her face. You don't need to know how special it made her feel. You do not need a thank you. I am giving all of those things to you now. She took a picture and posted it on Facebook. She feels seen. She feels special. It warms her from the inside out.
And she ABSOLUTELY loves it-and you.
