a delightful surprise
getting back into the car
thinking of my next stop
a gentle knock on my window
opened to hear a smiling stranger say,
‘i just wanted to give these to you, have a beautiful day.’
holding this lovely little bouquet
making my way back into the day
made all the sweeter with this gift.

How unusual. Over here, we might be suspicious of someone doing that, so I am happy to hear it was a kind and innocent gesture.
Best wishes, Pete.

Hum. How fascinating. An random act of kindness or someone discovered their girlfriend is allergic and they had to go with plan b and didn’ want the flowers to go to waste. Very nice all the same, Beth.

the giver walked out of the store with flowers about the same time as me and we ended up parked next to each other, and just made a spur of the moment decision to do something kind, i think

Now that is either a wonderful random act of kindness or a smitten fellow shopper taking the leap, Beth!
