Treat Yourself to Flowers

sunflower-21I treated myself to the biggest bouquet of sunflowers I could find yesterday. I started buying myself flowers about a month ago. It is something I do just because.

I have always liked sunflowers, but these simply blew my mind. They are like pools of sunshine and I can not help but smile when I look at them. They instantly lift my mood. I have decided next year to grow as many varieties of sunflowers as I can find. That way, when I need a little lift, they will be there heads raised to the sun, glowing and full of life.

Don’t wait for someone to give you flowers. Give them to yourself, just because. You deserve it.

Vanessa - They are beautiful!

A few months back I too went through a phase of buying flowers just because. They really brighten the home! I think I’ll take your advice and do that this week ;)

chris pellis - fyi, put pennies in the vase and the flowers won’t droop…this works great with most flowers, not sure about sunflowers though.
