Flowers Are Always On My Mind

 I've been very busy with flowers in April.That's a good thing. Especially when you co-own a boutique flower shop in this economy.

This amazing image by photographer,Trent Bailey, explains exactly how I've been feeling. Followed by flowers wherever I go. Even when I am at rest.

Don't get me wrong. I really love flowers. I am blessed to be able to work with flowers as my life's work. But they're almost always on my mind. Always in my shadow. 

Always looking at them, buying them, coordinating them, conditioning them and arranging them.

But, I'm not complaining. I can't imagine anything I'd rather be doing. Well, sitting on a beautiful beach reading my favorite magazines is a close contender.

But you know what I mean. Sort of like having a job making boards for Pinterest. I wouldn't mind that at all.

I've been getting such nice messages from women saying how much they love my pinboards. I'm so grateful for that. Lot's of flowers there of course, but tons of elegant stuff too.

The moral of the story? Find one something you love doing and do it. It doesn't have to be your life's work, but it should at least be on your Top 10 list of things you like to do. Life is short. Go for it! You've got my permission.

What good things in your life are always on your mind?

Flowers :-), and my family are the top 2. So I spend most of my time with them both...

Wow, I like the idea of a garbage can full of flowers. Why haven't I thought about it?

Emotions are best expressed through a flower. This is a universal symbol of committed friendship, bond and love. A present of freshly cut bunch of flowers and fragrance that comes with very sniff is worth a thousand words.
