When was the last time you surprised someone (in a positive way)?
We all love surprises, don't we? And it is pretty fun to plan surprises too. Why is that?
A surprise - some nice action done when someone else is not expecting it - is a pure and sweet way of showing someone you care or that he or she has touched you in some way.
Sometimes surprises are small gifts or they might be good deeds or artistic creations.
Surprises can catalyze breakthroughs, but don't do them with that aim in mind. Don't do surprises with any aim, other than to make the person feel happy and appreciated.
Let's all surprise someone this week. Have fun with it!
You are so right about this Lisa! My most recent surprise was for Steve Sherlock, and I think I gained just as much joy from it as he did - in fact, I am sure of it.
The planning WAS fun, and it became self-reflective for me too. I really DO need to plan another surprise for someone; thank you for this prompting.
With courtesy to your readers learning of my surprise for Steve, it starts here in my planning: A Cracker Jack® prize for Steve

and a link near the end of the posting will take you to the surprise itself.
