First off, I've been having a really bad couple of days. I feel like I just can't win at anything, that I should just give up all the efforts I've put in to some projects at work and in my personal life, and I'm just overall discouraged.

This morning when I got to work, I stopped by the mail room to pick up a package for my boyfriend, who also works where I do, and to my surprise, I was told that a package was waiting for me, too. I hadn't gotten a notification, so it's possible that the package had been there for a few days. Did my mum send me something? She didn't mention anything.

And then I saw the outside of the package. It had my Reddit username.

When I got back to my desk, I opened the box and found out that my gifter had not only set me six gifts, almost all of the gifts were wrapped with bicycle wrapping paper.

The unwrapped gift was a set of cork coasters. I purchased a set of these two years ago and loved them so much, but I lost them when I moved in with my boyfriend. Thank you so much!

I unwrapped the littlest package next, and inside was a beautiful necklace—a pendant with a picture of an old-timey bicycle. And that's when the tears started.

Gifter, you have no idea how much I needed this generosity. Perhaps you didn't mean it this way, but right now it's nice to feel like I matter.

Next, I opened the package that wasn't wrapped in bicycle paper, and inside was a set of beautiful notecards. I love writing letters, and these are perfect!

Then I opened the pasta—bicycle pasta. Can you believe it? This will be perfect for the night before a big ride!

Inside the next package: bicycle sticky notes! I'm going to use these at work!

I almost don't want to open the last package until later in the day, but I know that you, gifter, have probably been waiting eagerly for my reaction.

Real-time reaction: holy shit! A copy of Bicycling Middle Tennessee: A Guide to Scenic Bicycle Rides in Nashville's Countryside

How did you know that I'm planning a bicycle ride through Kentucky and Tennessee for this fall? Seriously? This book is amazing! It even has cue sheets!

Gifter, you have really hit the mark. You've helped my mood lift significantly. I'm so grateful for your kindness and awesomeness!
