One day,while I was walking to work,I decided to bring some flowers that I had picked from my garden that morning.On the wayI ____ a stranger and presented the bunch to him with a smile card.____ by the sense of joy I felt from giving flowers to another personand may be ____ his day,I wanted to do it again.

When I got to my office,I had the ____ of anonymously(匿名) leaving flowers around the workplace.The impersonal(無(wú)人情味的) ___ of the building where I work makes me ____.It just feels a little boring sometimes,____ it’s a nice building with great light.I __8__ lots of people might feel the same way,so why not put a little ___ there,and throw in an inspirational quote while I’m at it?____,who doesn’t like flowers?

So,for the past month,I’ve been ____ flowers in a little cup on the sink in the bathroom.Each weekI ____ the flowers and the quote.It always feels ____ for me to read quotes like Henry David Thoreau’s “If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams,he will meet with a ____ unexpected in common hours.” and Gandhi’s “The fragrance(香味) always ____ on the hand that gives the rose.” If anythingI figured,it at least makes me ____ each time I visit the bathroom.

Then today,when I walked inI noticed ____ flowers in the cup,and a quote that someone else had writtenIt ____,“Be the change you wish to see in the world.”—Gandhi.

This little act ____ me that,at the end of the day,we’re all just people with hearts ____ the various roles and different hats we may wear in the workplace.

I did a little dance and I am smiling wide for the rest of the day!
