On an Afternoon Walk - Rose Garden Gratitude



To say thank you sometimes can feel rote, reflexive. To have an opportunity to express deep gratitude to a complete stranger did not feel rote or reflexive today. This woman’s roses, their scent perfuming the very warm air, had given a good friend of mine pleasure from the distance of a photograph. Overcoming my shyness, I told her of my friends appreciation and thanked her. 


“No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.”
