Unexpected Packages

Unexpected Packages

I'm always surprised when it happens, but people I've never met in person sometimes send me gifts.

I've received cash (that was awkward), flowers, coffee, a DVD, the CD soundtrack for a movie, a t-shirt, more flowers, an amazon.ca gift certificate, key chains, and more. All in appreciation for some thing I've done for someone or some group.

I've done far more for family and friends...and have received fewer tokens of appreciation. Why is that? Do we take for granted those who are physically in our lives? Or is their a culture of expectation that doesn't exist between cyber buddies?

I don't know the answer.

Unexpected packages...everyone should get one on occasion. I think maybe I'll send one today.
