This is what my friend wrote in her Facebook post:
“Running errands this morning after picking up this lovely bouquet from the florist….! It made everyone smile! From the solemn banker to the lady in the fruit store to the check out clerk, everyone wanted to have a look & see the pretty flowers! I think I will do this more! Just walk around town with a big bouquet of flowers to see everyone smile! :)”
I told my friend I thought it was an excellent idea! And if I lived in town — where I could easily go to the florist and where it’s natural to run around doing errands — I would do it myself.
And just think, after spreading joy by carrying the flowers around for a while, you would get to increase the joy by either enjoying them at home or by gifting them to someone else! Definitely a win-win-win sort of deal.
I think this is the sort of thing Swami Kriyananda would have loved. 💐
