As I sit here, still, contemplating what the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me, I am still struggling to come up with a solid answer. I don't deal with a lot of people on a daily basis, and those I deal with are either children or people who aren't the friendliest to strangers.
I guess the absolute nicest thing done for me was when I had knee surgery a few years ago and my co teacher set about having the class make me "Get Well Soon" cards. If you've never gotten a card from a two year old, I highly recommend it. I wish I could find them right this moment so I could take a picture for you to see the absolutely adorable scribbles and pictures. Unfortunately our house is a bit in shambles due to rearranging, purging, and painting that the box with those cards are probably on the bottom of the largest stack! Anyway, those cards made me really happy, knowing that at least my co teacher missed me in the classroom, if not the children themselves actually missing me.
It's weird to think I had to spend so much time coming up with this answer. Perhaps I need to start keeping a journal of the nice things that happen in my life. I know there are plenty of them that happen, I am not an angry shrew or anything. What are happy things that have happened in your life?

Love those cards from little kids and just got two for Mother's Day that made me smile so much from my two. Thanks for taking the time to answer the prompt this week and so happy you joined us :)
ReplyDeleteI took a long time to think about this one. I don't always participate and I would like to more. So many people have done nice things for me...how do you pick just one? In the end I went with something that someone did that boosted my confidence and really changed my life. I think that cards from little kids (big kids too) is just the sweetest thing and it definitely makes you feel warm and fuzzy. And that is such a nice thing!
ReplyDeleteReading this reminded me of the time a friend's kids (6) and their friends from their condo complex got together on my birthday one year and came up with a song for me. When I pulled in after work, the kids started marching around the parking lot seeing the song for me, and they had wrapped up drawings they had made and some of their toys, etc. for me as presents!! They also had managed not to spill the beans that their parents were throwing me a surprise party - color me shocked on all counts!! :) Hope you still have those cards somewhere and didn't get lost with the "purge" pile. :( [#FTSF]
ReplyDeleteUmmm, yah, make that "singing" the song, not "seeing!" Oops.
ReplyDeleteThat's so wonderful that you have a box of cards from your two-year old students! What a special thing to have and cherish. I had a hard time thinking of what to write about this week too. A journal of the nice things is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to hear I'm not the only one who adores things like this! And Chris, I can assure you they are not in the purge pile... sadly there is very little in that pile, haha.
