Surprise Kindness with Perfect Timing

"There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved."
― Charles Morgan

A woman I know was just beginning a new job, working remotely, when -- surprise -- her phone died on her first day working from home.  She wanted to burst out crying although she remembered that 10 years before on her first day of a previous job -- also working from home -- her Internet connection had not worked.  She tried to breathe, to think calmly, to accept that there was only so much she could do...  Then someone arrived at her door with a beautiful orchid.  It was sent by a couple of very special friends to wish her well on her new job.  She almost burst out crying -- but this time it was from how touched she was by the very unexpected and perfectly timed kindness of her friends.
