Have Yourself A Beautiful Day, Ya Here!

By Jamis Minnis, October 11, 2021

Who did this? Because I want to Thank them. Some days, I take an afternoon stroll with my partner. We take several routes, depending on our mood. We walk slowly.  And my partner can be found, well, smelling the flowers. My partner really appreciates things like that. And I, in turn, really appreciate that about her. I, on the other hand can be found gazing at roofs, siding, and paint color choices.

But there is one house, a very very very fine house that we pass often. The flowers can’t be overlooked. They stand radiantly bright and center. They seem to kindly extend their petals like open arms and say “Have yourself a beautiful day, ya here.”  Every time I pass this house, I feel gratitude and wonder what simple thing I can do to make this subtle impact on strangers in my day to day.
