little bits

i used to work with a kiddo who has the most wonderful mom. i mean, not more wonderful than my mom (love ya moms!!) but wonderful as a person. one day, she brought in a bunch of pink gerber daisies for me just because she thought i might like them. the little girl now sees another therapist (just because of scheduling, not because i'm a sucky speech pathologist!!!) but they will still bring myself and the other therapist starbucks or little treats for no reason.

the last time she did this i realized how amazing it really was. not for her, because i'm sure it just seemed like a small thing for her, but for us it was a huge deal. i decided that i am going to try to be this kind of person for someone each week. the kind of person who brings someone a little pick me up, or gives them a phone call or sends a card. i want to see how long i can do it because i want to be that person- the kind and thoughtful friend who surprises people to brighten their day. not because i want anything but because i want other people to feel like i did the last time that mom brought me a coffee during a really long and stressful day.

i started this week. i had told the kids i work with at the school that we would have a donut party this week since it was their last week of school. i picked up some munchkins for the ladies i work with at school, hoping to give them a little pick me up for the last week.
