Love is in the Air
Is it just me or do warm weather, light breezy winds and springtime flowers bring out the best in people? Earlier this week I went to teach my weekly private English lessons. I was almost at the door when I was handed these.
“Someone gave them to me yesterday,” the mom told me. “And I want to share them with you.”
I left with half of a bouquet in spite of my protests.
There is something about receiving flowers that lifts my spirits. Before her gift I had felt tired and somewhat overworked. However, I happily floated out to my car and smiled proudly at the young girl who looked quizzically at my overflowing arms filled with flowers and leaves. I showed them off when I arrived home, and carefully arranged them into an antique vase. And aren’t they lovely?
They made my day.
Happy LT, everyone!

Isn’t it amazing how flowers can make you feel? I’ve decided that flowers are no longer a luxury but one of life’s necessities. How nice of your student’s mom to share!

I love getting flowers… especially for no reason. They really do somehow make you feel loved. Maybe it’s because flowers are always beautiful!

What pretty flowers. Nothing makes my day more than when I get flowers especially out of the blue for no occasion at all. It’s nice to be appreciated.

I love flowers. Whether they’re picked, purchased, given, received, or viewed from a distance they always bring a smile to my face.
Cherrye, what a beautiful gift. Thanks for sharing.
