My Faith in Humanity: Restored!
The worst part about being sick is that you are desperate for extra rest . . . and you can't sleep soundly. At least I can't. And then my daughter has turned into Miss Early Riser and why? Why must she take a bath at 6:25 a.m.?
This afternoon, an email arrived from a local friend. She chit-chatted and mentioned that she dropped off a goody bag for me at the church. My husband brought it home when he delivered my son after school. This sweet woman from church created a gift bag full of cheer-me-up things like an Oprah magazine, Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies, cough drops, scrapbooking paper and ribbons, scented soaps and more. Girly stuff. She called it her RAK--her Random Act of Kindness.
I call it a blessing.
Wow.

Now, that's a great friend. And what a good idea.
What a thoughtful gesture.
Hope you and your family are back to good health quickly.

Whoo hoo! How completely wonderful. Hope the RAK lifts your spirits and chases that stinking flu bug away!
Awesome! What a nice thing for her to think of doing.
I love it when stuff like that happens. Yay for YOU! :D

I can never sleep either. I even take the Nyquil... nope I'm up two hours later.
All I can say to your sweet church member is: "Nice RAK!"
I hope you are back to being the you that you want to be very soon. And I am really happy that a church member was the one to do this wonderful kindness for you, giving you new hope in those near you.
Very nice. I'd call it a blessing, too! It's taking all that is in me to not say, "Wow, you really RAKd up!" That would be too cheesy, though, so I'll refrain.
I like her style!!! That is SO what you needed!
Gotta love the little things.
feel better
That is nice.
What a great idea!! I never know what to put in care packages. I just wing it, but those are wonderful ideas. We take our good health for granted so many times.I hope you feel better soon.
