©️ MichaelJosephWilliams646, flowers from last year I bought, all cut and arranged by yours truly

I like getting flowers for the house but lately I just haven’t prioritized it enough. So much so that the inertia of not getting flowers has become very very powerful. The irony is that I could literally slide my cart right next to the floral display at my grocery store and grab as many bouquets as I want – but for some reason, I don’t.

And it’s not like I’m allergic to them either.

I’m at a point now where I may actually just order them to have them delivered to me. Maybe I’ll even write a note to myself like “hey Mike, keep slayin and kickin ass!” I think, maybe…just to test out one of the local flower shops in the area I’ll do that. But I really should try and make time to get flowers. They really brighten up an area and lend an organic feel to an otherwise sanitary but sterile environment.

Or I could just get fake ones from Amazon.

    Hey Michael,

    Don’t get the fake ones! Real flowers are so precious partly because their beauty is fleeting. It’s not just about brightening up the space, is it?

    My sister likes to wash the stems of the flower when she changes the water and also gets rid of any dead material. And of course add those plant food that comes in a pouch to make the flowers last a bit longer.

    lol. I never get flowers because they just eventually wilt and die. Plants, however, do the trick. Pretty and they live longer, unless you over or underwater, etc.

      that is a fantastic idea! i always think flowers but plants may very well be just the aesthetic – thank you! 😀

      Mike
