Sweet Surprise



Sometimes it's just the little, unexpected things that make you feel the best. I was out shopping with my mom at a local T.J. Maxx store yesterday. She wanted to pick out a birthday gift for a friend. She found a great bag for her and we continued combing through the store. The shop was overloaded with tops, tees and summer sweaters.

We both got into looking and holding things up for the other to see. Suddenly she exclaimed, "Pick one out and I'll buy it for you!" I had seen a cute sleeveless tank with appliqued flowers in a soft coral on the main aisle. She liked it too. She paid at the front counter and handed me the bag. I smiled and thanked her.

I'm going to wear my new top with my favorite cargo pants to work today. But first, I'm stopping by her house on the way in to show her how it looks on me. I know I'll always remember this every time I pull the little tank top out of my closet.
