Live for the Moment - As florists around the world prepare for the BIG day, it is easy to forget today. I know we must be good and look forward, planning and prepping for the "best Valentine’s Day ever" but, what about today? We each have a finite number of days on this earth. We certainly don't want to lose any of them. So often, we do. Days, weeks and even months can slide by as we prepare for the future forgetting today, the moment, the now - what a tragedy! Embrace the day - each and every day! It may be hard to revel in the excitement of filling water tubes and tying bows but, pat yourself on the back for doing it. Pay attention to the process - actually feel the water on the fingers and the texture of the ribbon. Soon enough, we will feel the pokes and pricks of rose thorns. Today, what do you feel? When the day is done, celebrate. Put your feet up and relax, sip a cup of your favorite tea or, indulge in dessert. If it was an incredible day (incredibly busy, incredibly stressed or incredibly wonderful) you may even eat desert first. (MORE BLOGS)
