To the question presented to me: If you received a surprise package in the mail, what would you like to be in it?
A
Surprise Package
Everyone loves a surprise. Birthdays.
Christmas. Anniversaries. Or any other causes for celebration. Whatever the reason, we eagerly open our
boxes with this in mind – to be surprised
– to be the recipient of the
unexpected. And often times, the bigger
the box the better. After all, big
things come in big boxes, don’t they? Well,
not necessarily, but you already know that from your own personal experience,
don’t you? A diamond ring. A gold necklace or earrings. A gift card.
I’m sure you can think of a thousand other things that are potentially big
gifts, but small in size.
For me personally, the greatest gift that could ever be
found in a package is one that comes from the heart. In other words – a
gift of love. As a would be writer, that
“love” could be expressed in the form of the written word. From a love interest: A simple ‘I Love You.’ ‘You Are My Everything.’ ‘From Now Until Eternity.’ ‘I’ll Be Forever at Your Side.’ ‘There Can Be No Heaven Without You
There.’ Or from a child: ‘I Love You Daddy.’ ‘Daddy, We’ll Make it Through This Together.’ From parents: ‘We Are Proud of You.’ ‘You Are Our Pride and Joy.’ ‘You’ve Made Us So Proud.’ ‘When We Needed You the Most ~ You Were
There.’ And from a sibling: ‘I’ll Be Here if You Need Me.’ ‘Thanks For Being the Best Brother
Ever.’ ‘Thank You for Taking Care of
Mom.’ And let’s not forget our many
friends: ‘Your Friendship Means
Everything.’ ‘I Can Always Count on You
When I’m Feeling Down.’ ‘You Always Have
My Back.’ ‘I Feel Safe in Your
Presence.’ ‘Thanks for the Shoulder to
Lean On.’
And oftentimes, for all of the above situations, all that
a “surprise package” needs to contain is a simple ~ ‘Thank You.’ The reality is this: A “thank you” is a measure of your worth to
someone at a particular moment in time. And
“moments in time” are what we are all experiencing at this very moment. So, to all of you that read this ~ “Thank You” for
your contributions you have made to my happiness – both past and present.
