“Let
us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners
who make our souls blossom.”
―
Marcel Proust
This does not only mean a lover, child, parent
or friend but those random wonderful people we meet on life’s every day journey.
It can be he vendor at the corner selling flowers who always greet you with a
smile and something precious to say. It can be someone who picked up something
you lost while in a hurry. What about someone who lets you in the line in front
of them when traffic doesn't seem to let up and it seems you will never arrive
at your destination.
There are many beautiful people we encounter
every day that make us smile and feel grateful that kindness still exist in
this harsh world of ours. Perhaps the owner at the store keeps your newspaper
or magazine they know you buy every day, week or month.
Even the smallest gesture of kindness and compassion
can help make a difficult day something to remember for years to come. I thank
god for the small things in life that make it more bearable. It isn't always
the big events that make an impression on us but rather all the little acts of
complete strangers added together to brighten our days.
Why don’t we try this week to be a charming
gardener to make someone’s soul blossom? Let’s get out there and lift someone’s
heart and make them happy even just for a moment.
Namaste!
