There is a lovely lady in my office who has a lot on her plate. Her husband is quadriplegic (from an accident) and has recently been in hospital for an operation. She has had her own health problems too, but every time I go into the office she is bright and smiley and has a warm greeting.
Today I was the "Kindness Angel" and made this bag of goodies up, and then got my neighbour to write in the card, so she didn't recognize my handwriting. I didn't want to hand her the bag because then she would know it was me, so I wrapped it in a plastic bag to protect it from today's wild winter weather, and left it at the front door as I walked in.
Well, this could have worked out well, or been a disaster... About 15 minutes later, another one of our office workers arrived and brought it in with him and handed it to the lady it was meant for (it had her name on the front). I had to do extreme poker face as she unwrapped it and 'oohed' and 'aahed' at the contents. I just kept on working and made a comment when asked about what a nice surprise it was. She didn't guess it was me!!

KiwiCat wrote: I edited the story, so it read more fluently. Yes, the bag went to who is was intended to be for. If someone else had picked it up from outside the front door, then that would have been okay, it would have been someone sent by the universe to be cheered up!
