Teacher\u2019s Day morning.<\/p>\n
With my eyes, I see off my \u201cschool kids,\u201d armed with little bouquets of flowers.
\nAlthough Pa, with her big beautiful eyes, tried to convince me that her teachers \u201casked for them\u201d just to be happier,
\nI firmly believe that a \u201cthank you\u201d in the form of a flower has never hurt anyone.<\/p>\n
So yesterday,
\nglancing at my \u201cto-do\u201d list\u2014
\nI check off the line: \u201cthank the teachers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ready to leave the house in two minutes,
\nI look at the clock and realize I can\u2019t exactly boast about having plenty of time.
\nI almost give in to the thought of stopping at the first flower kiosk I see.
\n\u201cAttention matters,\u201d a thought I don\u2019t much like tries to sneak in.<\/p>\n
But my hand doesn\u2019t give in to the lazy idea and doesn\u2019t turn the wheel.
\nI know where they sell flowers with love.
\nThe shop is further than my usual route\u2014
\nI might have to walk a bit if I can\u2019t find parking.<\/p>\n
But.
\nCalculating the minutes\u2014I take a deep breath.
\nA little extra time\u2014I can manage.
\nAnd I don\u2019t miss.<\/p>\n
The smiling florist carefully selects the flower petals:
\n\u201cJust so they last longer,\u201d she whispers.
\nWith such love, she matches the wrapping paper and packs the little plants Patricija chose for her teachers:
\n\u201cJust so it looks even better.\u201d<\/p>\n
After a pleasant chat with this flower fairy, her smile lighting up the shop, and rejoicing that flowers from here always bloom surprisingly long\u2026
\nI leave, carrying the flowers, wrapped not only in paper but in love for her work.<\/p>\n
I make it everywhere in time.
\nAnd this morning, handing them to the children, I admire them once again and think\u2014<\/p>\n
Just flowers?
\nAt first glance, yes.
\nBut.<\/p>\n
Stronger than the pretty petals, in these little bouquets smells the love of one\u2019s work.
\nAnd genuine care.<\/p>\n
Heaven knows,
\nthat such feelings exist far beyond your route,
\nand risk not fitting into your schedule.<\/p>\n
Maybe I\u2019ve grown up?
\nThat \u201cquick and easy\u201d loses
\nto not only the purchased item but also to the feeling that makes your heart flutter.<\/p>\n
Morning coffee toast\u2014
\nto work done with love!<\/p>\n
