People can use the term "Easter egg" to refer to something hidden in a movie or a book to delight those who are clever or lucky enough to find it. Well, I found a true Easter egg.
While walking back from campus to my apartment, I found a plastic Easter egg in a bush by the sidewalk. Naturally, I picked it up, and I found a piece of paper inside. The paper said this:
"My darling, as the days of our time together grows shorter, I feel prompted to remind you of my love. Finals are coming, and I will lose you for the Summer. You can do well on anything you try. Good luck!
Love, [name of university]"
That made me smile and laugh. What a sweet message from "my university"! Somewhere out there is a student who is trying to do good, to cheer people up in a very busy time in the semester. I never thought I would get such a sweet message of love from my campus! It was even written with a purple marker, which made it even more delightful.
I put the note back in the Easter egg and returned the egg to its original hiding place to brighten another person's day.
I am grateful for a true Easter egg in the form of an anonymous message of encouragement and love.
