48 fifoos

Today is lovely. Perfect weather. High Spirits.

I had two really nice interactions with people today. The first was at my local farmers exchange. I went to get some plants and the place was packed with all kinds of blooming loveliness. I kinda just stood there for a minute to let all that flower power wash over me. Total deliciousness. When I went to pay, there was the usual throng of people inside also at the registers. The gentleman who helped me is always kind and unhurried and present. I paid for my snapdragons with my debit card and as he handed my card back to me he said, "Thanks, Mary." That was it. Maybe it's something about hearing your name, I don't know. I just loved that moment. Maybe I was still buzzing from all that awesome flower energy and it rubbed off on him, who knows. It was one of those times that make you feel pretty darned good.

The other was at a seafood joint in town. I went to get some take out. I gave the woman my name so she could holler it out when the order was ready. She is always pleasant and smiley when we go there. One of those people you hope takes your order just so you can get a bit of sparkle from them. When my order was ready, she brought it over to me and said, "There you go, Mary." Again with the contented sigh of happiness.

I just love days like this when your heart is wide open, leading the way and everyone is wonderful.

Then I came home and planted my flowers and all is right in the world.
