No New Messages

For the last week or so, when I've checked my e-mail it has said "no new messages", but when I looked into it, there were one or two new messages. Not sure what' s happening with the system, but I look at it like a challenge. It says no one has contacted me, but I check anyway, and surprise someone has! but if there aren't any new messages, sometimes I read the old ones. It's like a visit with a friend who might repeat the same stories, but you don't mind because you like to spend time with them. And when I look at the list, it reminds me that maybe I haven't contacted someone in a while. So, new or not, messages remind me to keep in touch.

BusyBee

When I think too much, I don't get a lot done. When I just do the thing I'm thinking about, I feel accomplished and peaceful. Even better, when I do something that I really enjoy, I feel great! I mean, nobody likes to clean, do laundry, all the ho-hum stuff, but if I think about it, it takes me a lot longer to do. Just doing it gets it done and leaves me time for the stuff I really enjoy. Thinking about doing something is harder than just doing it. Just keeping busy.

The Power of a Flower

Good Morning, I'm new at this, so be patient. I own a flower shop, not a very high tech one, we're not on the internet, except for the fabulous blogsite my bro set up. So I see a lot of flowers, not many of the exotics, or upperscale type, just your regular carnations and roses. The other day a girl came in for a wedding consult and her mom asked her to just try white carnation with the roses, the girl wasn't too sure until we put some white carns up against red roses, and she loved it. Of course, it made her mom happy too. Something as simple as a white carnation can make a big difference in someone's life. It is so simple, but yet so beautiful and peaceful. Flowers have powers that go beyond their looks. And it doesn't have to be any kind of holiday, just a day that you see someone needs a lift, and it doesn't even have to be a flower, just a smile or a kind word, a nod that you understand what they're going through. It doesn't take much, just a little piece of yourself. What kind of flower will you be today?
