Towards the end of last week I faced (if not one of) my greatest fear. For months it had caused anxiety. I'm not comfortable really getting into what exactly that specific fear may be but some of you might be able to make some guesses and/or draw a conclusion.
And when I say - Anxiety and Fear - I mean Anxiety and Fear to the greatest extent.
It was because of the help of roughly 8 strangers that I could get thru it. Eventho I 'got thru it' I also dealt with post-anxiety issues thereafter.
Fast-Forward to yesterday morning when I came into my office and found these lovely flowers at my door waiting for me.
I was in complete shock. At first I thought they may have been from my parents - but no. I did ask my husband - but they weren't from him either. The only other people who knew how hard of a time I had going thru that day where the people that helped me thru it. I was finally able to find out who sent them and it was one of the girls who was there that day.
I was very grateful, emotional, and surprised that someone I didn't know cared so much to not only help me like they did but think about me afterwards and help me acknowledge that I did, indeed, face my crippling fear and got thru my anxiety.
Come to find out - I know a relative of hers. One of these days when the COVID numbers settle I would love to meet her for coffee/tea to THANK her. In the meantime, I did find her on FB and sent her a "thank you" message on there.
Words cannot express what this all meant to me. Her kindness, her patience, her encouragement. I doubt I will ever forget it.
