Recently I learned the lesson that to receive and be unable to say thank you is more challenging than I had thought. I like to do things anonymously; that way nobody has to say "thank you" or "aren't you wonderful."
I've always felt that giving without the need fo
r thanks is a great way to give. Today I received a beautiful rose in the post and I have no idea who it came from, or even why I deserve it...but I am so very very grateful for such kindness towards me and I feel strange not being able to say "thank you" to whoever sent it.
So you know who you are and I shall not press you and destroy your true giving nature, for kindness and gratitude truly speak to me when thanks cannot be given; it is then that you know the act was not done for praise or for people to think highly of you, but purely because you enjoy giving and making people smile.
Well, I am certainly smiling and I shall keep this rose with me forever as it will remind me that someone out there saw something in me that they admired and I will be eternally grateful.
