Today I felt like giving some flowers away again. It's a thing I do both random and spontaneously. Most of the time I have no idea who I'll give 'em to...just walk down Baker Street til I see the right someone...it doesn't even matter if I know them or not. If I'm strollin' down the road and someone actively likes them and asks who they're for, I'll say, "It's random flower givin' away day and today I got 'em for you apparently." Those are fun ones. Creating huge unexpected smiles from outta nowhere.
Kyla has such an amazing shop in Bella Flora too. I like going there. Everybody should go there. www.bellaflorastudio.com When I was walking past the CIBC two completely different things happened at the same time. Scotty was yelling at me from across the street, hoping they were for him. :) As he was yelling and laughin' at me, I heard a guy going into the bank say to his kid, "He's got flowers...someone's in the dog house." I yelled back to Scotty, "Not today, and it's too bad 'cause they smell awesome." Then I laughed at him. As I was doing that, in my mind I was thinking of that guy going into the bank. The guy seemed like a clueless moron to me who really doesn't get it. Is that the reason so many guys get flowers to give...to get out of the doghouse? That's ridiculous. I choose to live by this thought instead... "No reason is the best reason to give." I find that giving for no reason at all is the purest form of giving there is because it is truly untarnished and vibrant in intention. Random thought for the day **UPDATE... (November 8, 2018) Today was random flower giveaway day again. I had no intention as to who I was gonna give some flowers to this time, but I went in to see Kyla at Bella Flora nonetheless, just thinking that I'd figure it out once I was there, which is typically my norm. As soon as I walked in the door, I knew who was gonna get the flowers on this day. I started gigglin' when it hit me: SCOTTY!! I remembered the above day on the previous year when Scotty jokingly yelled across the street to me, asking if the flowers I had were for him. Well, time to make good on my promise! Haha...so, I got him his flowers. Of course, Kyla effortlessly whipped together an awesome bouquet again. (I'm never not amazed watching her do that.) I had to quickly refresh his memory when I rolled into his work to give them to him. The two of us immediately turned it into a bit of an improv comedy routine. The only thing I really remember was him saying, "You know how many times a dude has brought me flowers? Never!" Well, Scotty...today's the day!
