Lilacs!

Today I was walking down the street on my way home from work and there was an old man cutting lilacs off of a bush. As I was walking past he saw that I was admiring the lilacs and he stopped and randomly gave me some.  We chatted about the weather and how his day was and then I thanked him and went on my way.  I like spontaneous acts of kindness like that. Plus, the lilacs reminded me of where I grew up as there's a lilac bush by my family's house in Michigan so that memory made the incident today seem really happy. People can be really kind and flowers are always pretty and when I think of those things my life seems just that much better!
