Valentines Day

This Valentine’s Day was surprisingly amazing. As my previous posts illustrate I’ve not been in the best of spirits. I found my computer cord at work and I was excited. My day only got better with time. When I opened my facebook I had a message from a friend who needed help with flowers for a girl so I went by the florist on my way home and ordered the perfect arrangement. It was so cute and I was so excited for all that good flowers do for relationships and the prospect of happiness for some of my favorite people. In the florist there were about 5 gazillion people waiting to be helped. I could see they were trying so hard but so overwhelmed! I was chatting with the lady taking my order and mentioned that I had a grandma in floral business for years and that I really missed the creative side of it. She asked me if I had ever wired a rose and I assured her I had with a laugh. She threw me a box of wire and assigned me a pile. I wired about 20 roses and she seemed pleased. I did a few other odds and ends around the shop like picking and cleaning up the discarded trash and stems. It seemed to really help out and in about 30 minutes the line of worried looking husbands was gone and the next delivery loaded up a sent out. It was such a joy for me to actually feel useful and to have some good connections with people. While walking home I was trying to be happy about not having a valentine even though my day had been pretty good considering. When I got home, to my surprise, I had flowers waiting on the kitchen table. Mama and Daddy remembered me and it meant so much to me. I really am loved. A good experience on a good day with good people. That’s a Happy Valentines!
