The Benefit of Surprises

I know I talked about planned gifts back before Christmas, and sometimes how giving what someone expects can be helpful, but now I want to acknowledge the joy of surprises, for gifts and beyond.

As far as other surprises go it can be fun to find them, from a new place to see, to a surprise dinner with friends, to a surprise birthday party. I think a surprise can be fun.

I think the biggest benefit of surprises is the added joy. Because not only is there something cool happening, but you didn’t even know it would be happening.

So go surprise someone you care about, whether it’s with a gift they’ll like, or a meal, or a trip to a new surprise place. Here’s to happy surprises!
