Greetings, my pretty May Flowers <3
Special story for you guys this month..
I hope the weather has been fantastic for you guys as well, but where I am it's been absolutely glorious. So, I was out walking my dog around the pond before work the other day, and stopped at a picnic table to soak up some sun. I was shortly joined by a small child, maybe between one and two years old, and with the cutest blonde hair. His mother did not say much to me and I did not understand the language they spoke in, but we enjoyed each others company. I assume they were at the table before and had gone for a little walk, because there was a collection of dandelions already sitting on the table that the boy was immediately interested in. He climbed onto the table and gave one to me. I was surprised (why are such beautiful, small acts of kindness only found in children these days?) and took it graciously. Eventually he took it away, to be scolded by his mother, but then I knew what he wanted. He gave me a different one and demonstrated smelling it dramatically, so I smelled it. Have you ever smelled a dandelion? They actually smell better than many flowers! I gave that one back and he handed me another one, and he let me smell each dandelion from the collection. Eventually I really had to leave for work, so I thanked them both and went on my way. Remember, enjoy the little things, even when you think they're just weeds. Everything has a sweet side.

gold and coalBecause he is golden.
Because he is brilliant and he is soft
and he is beautiful and he is bright
and all who see him are allured,
because they dream of him
and yet he remains free of corrosion.
And I fear to touch him,
I fear to stand too close because,
my hands are as black as the bed I was born in.
Because he is gold, and I am coal.
I am compressed, I am burned, I am used.
Nothing in me is refined.
And yet I too dream of gold.
I dream my rough hands will feel the soft touch
I dream I could be worthy of such luster
I am coal, dark and misshapen
he is gold, brilliant and bright
but my misshapen mold
will be a diamond some day.
I cannot shine for him, but I will refract
no light was born in me, but I will find it
not for him, but for me
so I can feel worthy of something golden

I've been browsing around groups, and I've had to stop when I saw this one, or should I say, this journal 
This what you've written and experienced is so incredibly romantic. I love little things like those, be it walking around a forest pathway and having a sweet stray dog follow you, or just a stranger keeping a look-out for your seat in the bus. It's marvelous how nice life can sometimes be. I wish you have many more days like this one -Cheers!
