One day, while I was walking to work, I decided to bring some flowers that I had picked from my garden that morning. On the way, I ______ a stranger and presented the bunch to him with a smile card. ______ by the sense of joy, I felt from giving flowers to another person, and may be ______ his day, I wanted to do it again.
When I got to my office, I had the ______ of anonymously(匿名) leaving flowers around the workplace. The impersonal(无人情味的) ______ of the building where I work makes me ______. It just feels a little boring sometimes, ______ it’s a nice building with great light. I ______ lots of people might feel the same way, so why not put a little ______ there, and throw in an inspirational quote while I’m at it? ______, who doesn’t like flowers?
So, for the past month, I’ve been putting flowers in a little cup on the sink in the ______. Each week, I ______ the flowers and the quote. It always feels ______ for me to read quotes like Henry David Thoreau’s “If one advances ______ in the direction of his dreams, he will meet with a ______ unexpected in common hours.” and Gandhi’s “The fragrance(香味) always ______ on the hand that gives the rose.” If anything, I figured, it at least makes me ______ each time I visit the bathroom.
Then today, when I walked in, I ______ new flowers in the cup, and a quote that someone else had written!It said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”—Gandhi.
The little act ______ that at the end of the day, we’re all just people with hearts, ______ the various roles and different hats we may wear in the workplace.
I did a little dance and I am smiling wide for the rest of the day!
