Not Sure What To Say

Comment Published at 04:2204:2238 comments38 comments72 Visits72 VisitsReport

This afternoon there was a knock at the door.  Flower delivery for yours truely!  Wow!  They are gorgeous!!!!  A beautiful selection of lilies some in flower and many more flower heads yet to open, all mixed in with a nice arrangement of decorative branches.

On the card, it says 'Because We Care'.  That's it.  No mention of who they are from, but I have my suspicions.......

Top of the List and decreasing in order of likeliness:

  1. A certain Minti Member who may or may not have paired up with another (or more) members.  The reason is because it is the sort of thing they would do, right down to not signing the card.  I'm talking about someone who gives a lot to their local community and is taking on more all the time.  Someone with a great sense of humour, and who is hounding Les and I to come for a visit.
  2. Another Minti Member who lives a bit closer, but not entirely sure.  They are sweet and generous of heart etc, but like many of us, finding this inflation rather taxing and if it is them, they should know better.
  3. Our housing group.  They have already made it very clear that we are one of their best tennants, and are pushing us in line for this other 4 bedroom house closer to Ayla's school.
  4. Telstra.  Sounds weird, but plausible.  They have ready access to my address etc and I did launch a complaint with them about a service the other day, which was responded to very quickly, given that I threatened to take the matter to the ACCC.

Now, you might notice I didn't mention any of my family.  Well, that's because they don't do this sort of thing unless it is a special occassion.  Besides, they are too busy living their lives to be concerned with sending me on a goosechase! 

So, to the wonderful person/s who sent these gorgeous flowers to me, I thank you deeply from the bottom of my heart.  I just wish I knew for sure who the culprit is so that I can say to them that they really didn't need to do this as I already know they care.

I do hope they put their hands up and confess though!!!!!  Like before I go into labour! lol.  Though, that might be too late, as things are starting to progress even further.

I just want to say to everyone that I care and understand and will always do my best to offer whatever support and advice I can, no matter how silly it may seem.

Re: Not Sure What To Say

I know.  And these things always happen when I'm not feeling the best.  I remember being told that this baby could have a potential problem, then coming home and just wanting to hide on minti for a while, only to discover I had been chosen as the newest featured member.  Gosh, someone knew how much I needed that.

Things aren't so bad right now, but I'm having good and bad days and getting those flowers just made me realise that someone has been thinking of me, no matter who they are.

Re: Not Sure What To Say

I hope they come forward too, as I want to be able to find out why I have made them do this.  I just don't think that I have made an impact on people in my own community, so at a loss as to who it could be.

Re: Not Sure What To Say

Thanks Lui,  They will keep me smiling for ages, there are so many flowers that are open, half open and still incubating! lol.  I reckon if I get the special plant food (lemon lime soda!) then I might get a good 2 weeks or more out of them.  The longer the better! lol.

Re: Not Sure What To Say

I reckon I will have a couple of weeks of brightness in my kitchen now!lol.  They are just gorgeous and they do make me feel special.

I always accept what I am given, no matter if I feel I deserve it or not, because not accepting would mean I don't appreciate that someone took time out of their day to do something or say something to me.  Now, I just have to make sure the lovely flowers actually survive for at least a few days! lol.  hhhmmm, not easy with 4 little monkeys that have over curious minds! lol.

I know 2 members know where I live, so they are the ones at the top of my list, but sheesh, there are other ways of bringing on labour! lol.  No, I really do appreciate that someone has done this for me, just wish I could give them a big hug!

 Isn't suspense half of the thrill, of not knowing....what a beautiful thought from whoever!  Never know sweet you might have an secret admirer out there.

Enjoy them Arna, you are such a special friend to so many and you so deserve nice things happening for you.

Re: Not Sure What To Say

Thank you Janice,

I like to think that I do an ok job of being there for other people.  What I don't like is when someone decides they are going to make me embarrassed like this.  I'm just as special as the next person, though there is only 1 me (thank goodness!).

My investigative skills had suspects narrowed to my list in 30 seconds! lol.

Wow, what a wonderful thing for someone to do.  Hope you find out who it was.   If you don't then just know that someone out there cares for you.  You deserve the flowers.

Angie

ps wish someone would send me flowers...  It wasn't Les was it???

Re: Not Sure What To Say

I do have to wonder about Les, but he said it wasn't him.  I even said it was the sort of thing he would deny doing, and then once getting me into a tizz trying to work it out, confess! lol.  He said he hadn't thought of doing that before, so not him.  Might have given him some ideas though! lol.

Our kitchen now has these gorgeous flowers perched precariously in there.  I thought about having them by my computer, but decided I'll share them with my family, and kitchen is the safest place for them.  They are right beside my water cooler, so I will be able to seem them everytime I need a cool drink, just hope i don't drink the wrong water in the middle of the night! lol.

The flowers have made me smile, but I've had a hard time keeping the tears away.  I've never had a complete stranger do such a wonderful thing.

Re: Not Sure What To Say

I'm sorry mate ....i don't know your address, only your mobile and you don't answer that!!!!

You may never find out.  I had a birthday card from my cats once...obviously my cats didnt send it 'cos they don't have thumbs and can't write, but to this day i still don't know who sent it.  It came in the post and no one will admit to it!  I can't even recognise the hand writing!!  My cats are gone but i still have the card!  crazy eh?

Re: Not Sure What To Say

LOl.  My phone and I have a hate/hate relationship again!  It's been hiding for about a week without me being able to find it, and then I accidentally dropped it yesterday and the back came off, so don't even know if it works, but it is at least charging! lol.

I've always known people that this has happened too, and thought how nice it was they had someone watching out for them, but I never thought I'd be receiving such a special
