For no reason whatsoever!

I think my favorite reason for doing things is simply "for no reason whatsoever".

I want to call my husband sometimes, in the middle of the day...for no reason whatsoever. That's what we used to do! It's a big part of how our friendship started, and then dating, and falling in love. We just talked. He never called my purple dorm room phone and had me answer it and ask what he wanted! How ridiculous! He wanted to hear my voice and let me know he was thinking of me. He was calling for no reason whatsoever.

I want to treat my friend to a latte...for no reason whatsoever. Because she is amazing, and she likes lattes. Because I am getting one, and I have an extra $4.54 in my wallet. Because I can get them iced and it is blazing hot during a Florida summer. Just, you know, no reason.

Sure, a card on my birthday is nice, but how much nicer is a card...for no reason whatsoever.

I love when I am thoughtful, just because my heart is full of love and gratitude for someone. Or with compassion for their situation. Or with thoughts of wanting to be with them. I love when other people are too. So unexpected, and undeserved. That kind of kindness is so special---the kind that comes for no reason whatsoever.

It is so nice to be nice for the appropriate reason...to send flowers when someone is ill, or to stop by and drop off a meal when a friend has a new baby. Gosh, without those acts of kindness life would be a bummer. But I still have to agree with myself that it is even nicer when those things happen...for no reason whatsoever. What better reason could there be?
