Flutter Moment

I have what I like to call 'Flutter Moments'.  These moments usually take me by surprise when I am in desperate need of smiling.  It never fails.  I could be, and usually am, having the most horrifying day when these moments choose to arise.  I was walking to catch the bus to work a couple of days ago with a friend, (Any 57 bus line riders in Boston are aware of this terrible mode of transportation) when I caught myself heading into the Bitter Barn with the thought of being without a mate during wintertime.  Even the Penguins I see at the Aquarium have someone.  For life.


Then, I looked down.

This is what I saw.

(If you are a romantic, this rock is lovely to you.)

I smiled, reached for my little white Smartphone, and clicked.  Alone time is AMAZING.  And as I laughed to myself about how the Universe must label me an ignoramus, I realized that had I been wrapped up in someone else... the chances of my missing this sign would be great.  I guess I'm just saying, that small moments that make your heart flutter, are sometimes even more powerful than the effect of someone else's.
