The Chocolat Bar

Returning from a field trip, tired and a bit grumpy, I was welcomed by this yummy chocolate bar. Lying in my keyboard, it was left there by someone who is more thoughtful than one would think at first. Someone who cares and knows that chocolate can fight feelings of loneliness or disappointment. Someone who does nice thing in a discrete way as receiving recognition is not this person's greatest asset. Modesty and some shyness characterise the chocolate "provider" better. A small thing, a detail that made me smile and happy. And then again, it was not hard to find the "guilty" person. I have learned that we should expect the unexpected. That some good people hide who they are just because of shyness, modesty, or the simple inability to make public their good deeds. Interesting the human being can be. This one is indeed interesting, contradictory, in a way charming, but also tough to deal with. Just a normal human being. I thanked for the treat when no one else was around. Did not want to make this person feel uncomfortable. Later on, to this bar was added the rest of the chocolate pack :)
