I had a meeting tonight with a friend I see about once a month. We met at her office, and I noticed a vase with these gorgeous red flowers with long stems. I commented that they were beautiful. My friend then told me that her husband brings flowers to her office every single Tuesday. I asked what was so special about Tuesday. She said it’s the first day of the week she’s in the office, and her husband always brings her flowers that will last her the entire week. He thinks it’s important that she has a beautiful vase full of flowers to brighten up her office every week.
Call it cheesy, corny or over the top, but I see it as devotion and love in their purest forms. Think about the small amount of time it takes my friend’s husband to go to the florist, buy flowers and drop them off at her office. An hour, tops. That small gesture brings rewards that last the entire work week.
Think about the things you can do for others that only take a fraction of time out of your day but will make a lasting impact. Then, do those acts of kindness and love whenever you can.
