I am no fan of surprises.
Not the big ones at least.
It seems to me that they
often go awry in some way.
Assuming it was a good surprise
to start out with any way.
Someone gives it away or the
person (usually me) does something contrary
to the plan in the works.
But, I am a big fan
of small, unexpected pleasures and treasures.
The coffee is already made today?
A drawing from a little child?
A hug.
A kiss.
Holding hands.
A spontaneous postcard in the mail.
These little things, tiny and unexpected
add a dash of glitter to
a life crafted in ordinary everyday.

Wow, I LOVE this! I, too, think that simple, unexpected kindnesses are the very best sources of encouragement!

Yeah, it always is just the little things. ♥

These are great examples of the “glitter” of life. We couldn’t live without those spontaneous acts of kindness and surprise!

I think this is one of my favorites of yours – I am not a big fan of surprises either, but I never thought of everything else as unexpected treasures. That made me smile. My top 3 treasures?
1.When the kids make their beds without being asked
2. Someone else cleans up the dinner dishes
3. The last piece of cake is left for me
