Sink Into Your Soul

First off, I believe I unintentionally accomplished this.  You know how sometimes you do something knowing it will make someone else happy, and you find yourself surprised at how much it affects you too..?  Here is my story.

Scenario:  I left dirty dishes in the sink at work even though there is clear signage NOT to do so.  Times were tough, okay?! lol. Though my intentions were to return Saturday morning, I neglected to leave an informative letter to that effect; again my fault.  Lynn, a kind co-worker, discovered my dirty dirty dishes and washed them.  The note she left, which I discovered Saturday morning, informed me of the good deed she had done, but had a sense of disappointment.  I felt bad.

How I made things better:  I went shopping....for Lynn, that is! 

I bought her a lovely token of my appreciation and apologies.  Of course I knew she would love the thoughtful gesture - who doesn't like getting gifts?  What I didn't realize was how it would also make me feel.  Honestly, I felt so proud and good about myself, like there was this extra sense of mutual respect and bonding.  It was weird.  It was great.  It was a pure, natural, unexpected moment that in my opnion reached my soul.

On a side note, I'm interpreting this task as a pamper yourself moment too.
