Winter doldrums? Flowers!
This time of year is hard. The excitement of the holidays is over and we have months of cold ahead. Days are short, overcast, and dreary. No wonder we feel tired and dispirited.
A simple cure for winter doldrums: flowers!
No need to wait for the distant glories of Spring. Bring color, life, and beauty into your home today. A simple bouquet or bunch of flowers is all you need.
Too often we think of fresh flowers as something for special occasions only. In Europe having flowers in the home is an everyday thing. They come home with the fresh-baked bread.
Many supermarkets now have a flower department where you can grab a bunch of flowers as easily as your milk and bread.
If you are lucky to have a local florist, get your flowers from them. They are fresher, handled with care, and will look beautiful longer.
You can display your flowers:
- On the table where you enjoy your meals
- In your bedroom, see them when you first wake-up
- On the desk in your home office
- By your favorite chair – comfy throw, your favorite beverage, simply add your favorite person or book.
To beat the winter doldrums, add flowers to your shopping list and enjoy some color and life this coming week.
Reminder: there are many beautiful flowers besides roses.
And the best part: flowers are calorie-free.
