I found the little heart… when I really needed it. We recently had a new boss appointed at work and it has been a major change. Some good, some bad, but the stress level and extra-long hours I had been putting in (Salary, so no extra pay) where weighing heavily on me. I was feeling abused at work for lack of a better term. I actually found it maybe a month ago, but have not had the time to post. Anywho… Then after one of these terrible days, the kids were begging to go to, “The Port” for some of their amazing root beer. They had been so good, trying to help me when I get home from work, that even though I was on the verge of tears, I said we would go. Of course… they we busy, and there was no pull in parking spots available. Now this was going to be a long trip, and we would have to sit inside. So already disgusted… I parked the car, and we all started walking to go in… well I was walking, and the kids ran in. As I was walking in, feeling like a kicked puppy, I looked at the pretty geraniums in the wall planters, and thought how I wished I was home more this summer and maybe the few I planted and sadly neglected, would not have had an untimely death and actually got to feel the love, care and water… they desperately needed to thrive, would they have been as beautiful… when I noticed a random blue amongst the reds and pinks… I walked closer to see what it was, hoping some inconsiderate person did not stuff their garbage among the beautiful flowers. I then seen the little tag… I need a home. So, I picked it up and seen it was a little heart. I said to the little heart that he could live with me. I even got glassy eyed. He knew I needed him, and he needed a home. The heart made me smile and lifted some weight off of me, I know it may sound dumb, but some stranger send me love, without knowing it. Everything was going to be okay.
