Well, here we are past mid July. It’s amazing how fast time goes by, isn’t it?
July usually bring us some quieter days as many of our customers are away on
vacation, thus having no need for flowers. Also, many have wonderful gardens,
and take advantage of them by creating their own fresh arrangements using their
finest home grown beauties. So the days here sometimes feel a little longer this
time of year. It’s a good thing people are still getting married and having big
celebrations requiring our expertise, they do keep us hopping.
You know we all expect flowers at major
events right? Those big monumental ones like weddings, bar mitzvahs, birthdays,
births, and such. What about those smaller events in life that can be just as
important. With kids, there are so many, obviously school related things like
reading their first whole sentence, getting past that math problem, getting an
A, actually doing homework without being asked (lol ok, maybe these don’t work in
the summer). Then how about riding their bike without the training wheels,
swimming a length of the pool, and helping with the chores around the house (without
being asked), hitting that baseball and almost making it to first base. So many
wondrous things we sometimes overlook, that maybe deserves a little something
special.
Even
as we get older, yes believe it or not, we all like to be recognized for
something that we’ve achieved, no matter the age, no matter how simple the
achievement. Don’t you think an impromptu rose, or little plant, or small
arrangement delivered to that person for having done something, achieved
something, would make them feel all the more special? It doesn’t take much, it
doesn’t have to be huge, but it does enrich the lives of those who give them,
and for those who receive them. Simple isn’t it?
So off you go, make that call, order your “you
did great” flowers and spread the love. Enjoy the summer, stay cool, stay
happy, and be good to each other.
