Have you ever given someone a surprise special day?
Have you ever been given a totally unexpected special day just for you?
Well, I had no thoughts in my head about Mothering Sunday when we were with DD last weekend so I was very surprised to be awoken on Sunday morning with a cup of tea and then be given a card and present followed by a breakfast of poached eggs on toast. I said, "Oh, how lovely I can't remember when I last had breakfast in bed and I didn't even realise it was Mothering Sunday" so she laughed and told me,"This is my special Mothering Sunday for you". 
She also cooked us a lovely roast dinner with a lovely pudding and we all went out for a walk in the sunshine and just enjoyed being together.
It just underlined to me that to have our own surprise special day means far more than doing things on a particular day just because someone else says that is the day to do it. DD made it such a special and lovely day and I will remember it for a very long time. (DD lives miles away and we don't see enough of her although we often talk on the phone but you can't beat a real hug! )
I was so bowled over by such a lovely day and the thought behind it. It is good to be given lovely surprises and just as good to be able to give surprises so I am now going to be on the lookout for opportunities to do something special for someone else. It can be something really simple and would be a good thing to spread around.
Labelling cake tins or cutlery you have loaned.
Odd - weird and wonderful - almost unbelievable - or is it just me?
