A Flower A Day, Keeps The Smiles.... Coming!

Project 36Smile!

As I was walking into my dermatology office, there was your typical looking, older security guard, always smiling, standing next to a table with vases of flowers. 

He walks up to me and gives me two of these simple, yet gorgeous yellow flowers. 

It immediately put a smile on my face for the rest of the day. I still have one on as I'm writing this. 

He didn't offer an explanation, nor did I ask. I looked around, and every woman he had given the flowers to had smiles on their faces. It was as if we were brought back to high school, the day of Valentines Day and it's Flower Day. Am I going to get one? Is my frienemy going to get one? If my boyfriend doesn't give me, he is dead. Do I have a secret admirer?

The butterfly feeling when you do get one and you have no idea who it is from. 

You don't know why. 

You don't know who sent it. 

All you know is that this simple gesture of receiving a flower just made your entire day—no matter how crappy it started. Your makeup wasn't right, we missed the bus, forgot our homework—or that new project you worked all night on to meet the next day deadline— wait — I guess things don't really change much from when we're younger!

Thank you kind man for making my day, along with many other women. 

Men, take note. You don't have to buy a super expensive bouquet of flowers to make your significant others happy. Your local corner store probably has a bundle of their freshest daffodils, carnations(make sure you get at least 5-10, otherwise they just look sad, or local flowers for under $7. Stop in and get it for your wife, daughter, sister, mother. You have no idea how much you will make their day. Brownie points for you. 

When was the last time you received flowers and you were expecting it? How did it make you feel?
