I have a friend who doesn't believe in spending money on
flowers because they die. Quite honestly, I have no response to that.
When my kids were young, I thought it important to have
fresh flowers in the house as much as possible. I am not certain whom I did that
for but as a full time mom those flowers brought me joy. And in that my children display fresh
flowers in their own spaces today, I can’t help think they too enjoyed them.
I’m sure, at one time, fresh flowers in the home were an
extravagance, but today with the blossoming of floral departments in grocery
stores, flowers are now available to the masses at reasonable prices. Trader
Joe’s Whole Foods, Mariano’s, Cost-Co, Jewel, and Dominick’s all carry fresh
flowers.
For as little as $3.00-$4.00 you can purchase a beautiful
bunch to grace your kitchen, bathroom, family room, well just anywhere your
heart desires.
Flowers should always be part of your entertaining scheme,
but they’re not just for entertaining anymore. I suppose we think flowers are
just for special occasions, but by having them, everyday becomes special.
That $4.00 bunch of flowers can easily last for up to two
weeks. That’s a lot of bang for
your buck. Isn’t living well worth
$2.00 a week. You are worth it.
Your family is worth it. And when they die, which they will, you be will
eager to replace them and spend yet another $4.00 to bring joy and beauty to
your life.
Now take a deep breath and go arrange your flowers.
