What makes me happy

(Warning - I actually scared myself at how deep I got with this post! Excuse the random ramblings...)

I was actually thinking about this post last night when I was sitting outside a coffee shop with my boyfriend and a friend of ours. They were off on their usual chatter about cars, and while I know enough to follow along, I was too tired to concentrate that hard.

So I started looking around and noticed a guy closing up his flower shop (it was about 10pm-ish). We were downtown in nearby Pleasanton so there were only a few people walking about the streets. Every once in a while, a couple would be strolling past the flower guy. Some would stop to chat for a few minutes, while others offered only a smile and greeting. For each couple, once they started to leave, the flower guy would quickly grab a carnation and hand it to the guy so that he could give it to his signifigant other. Always free - never accepting money for it.

This got me thinking as to how much each person can effect someone's life. That couple could have been fighting or going through difficult times, and that one free thoughtfulness might have been a bright spot in whatever was going on in their lives. A thoughtful action like that is very rare where I live so it was funny to realize how much of an impression it made to witness that. Watching things like that definitely makes me happy and thankful.
