Sometimes a nice gesture can really lift up my day. Yesterday I cut some gorgeous flowers from my garden to take home to the city. After a precarious and careful journey to the car I absentmindedly left them behind after loading everything else in. I was about fifteen minutes away when I realized they weren't with me, and decided to drive all the way back for them. They were gone! I was so upset - after all, who would take my personal flowers, in dripping cups of water? And with the weather changing, maybe they were the last really nice flowers for the season.
I no sooner got home, feeling so stupid, when the phone rang. Friends (and fellow gardeners) who noticed my left-behind flowers had taken them home for safekeeping! Such a small thing and so big to me - I was so happy to have those flowers!
So, thank you Shelly and Vanessa
