So often, people go on about how crap and terrible our society has become that it’s a welcome relief to suddenly find something nice to cheer you up.

I was out driving today when I noticed some flowers attached to the railings by a lamp-post. As I drove on, I noticed nearly every junction I went to someone had attached flowers to a lamp-post.

“How nice and what a sweet thing to do!” I thought.

Here are people actually making the effort to make the community a nice place to live in by trying to brighten the place up and make it nice for everyone to live in.

The next time you’re thinking the world is all glum and down, have a think about those flowers on the railing and how there’s some people out there trying to brighten up the place for all us gloom-monkeys!

So, flowers on the railing. All is not bad. I even saw one today that said “Mum”. What a nice gesture for all the hard-working mums out there.
