#012 A random flower

Just a short note today, but I hope that the impact I made was greater than the length of this blog post.

The other day as I walked down the main street of my home town I saw an elderly couple enjoying breakfast . They were sitting at a table in the alfresco area (a fancy way of saying table seating on the footpath) and both looking down at their food neither looking happy nor sad. They appeared to be in that comfortable silence that you get when you are with someone you love and have known them for a while. Just contented with the company and the prospect of eating breakfast out with them.

As I walked past I placed some flowers from my garden on their table and wished them an enjoyable breakfast. Their faces lit up with both surprise and happiness. They wished me a wonderful day and I continued on my way leaving them to their breakfast.

It was so simple, so easy, and so nice to share.
