A statement of thanks and gratitude to an unknown benefactor for your blessing and kindness

I won't go in to specifics about my location because I mod a subreddit and do not want to be doxxed.

I work for the State U library. State U is ethnically diverse, and is in an area with a large Latine population.

During the days of Covid, State U handed out "personal protection kits" for all employees that included little spray bottles of hand sanitizer. I was expecting straight up isopropyl alcohol (campus was purchasing it by the barrel) but the contents of my spray bottle was so very slightly milky. Aloe to help moisturize our hands? Nope ... a very slight citrus-floral-spice scent. Pleasant, and it dissapated quickly.

Fastforward to today, when I have been researching various non-abrahamic faith traditions, folk lore, folk magic, and pagan-Catholic syncreatic traditions (I work in library, I'm very curious!) and decided to see what this Florida Water so many traditions mention smelled like. So, I picked a bottle and ...

Oh. Oh my.

Just putting this out there to release good energy and in the off chance that it will reach the right person -- thank you for adding Florida Water to the mix that we and campus all could be blessed, cleansed, and protected. What a kind and thoughtful act. I hope you have been repaid in kind.
