I don’t require gifts of flowers to reassure me that I am loved. I don’t expect them on my birthday, or anniversary, or mother’s day. And when they don’t arrive I do not feel slighted or sad or upset.
But there are rare occasions when I am gifted with flowers and I cannot deny the effect they have upon my mood. Recieving flowers makes me feel happy and cherished and honored particularly when the gift is unexpected. Howard brought me a single rose tonight. They were handed out en masse at the place he was, but he brought it home to me. And now I have a rose despite freezing temperatures outside.
The scent lingers on my hands and makes me happy.
Unexpected flowers are always a joy.

Ross got me roses for Valentines Day. Two red for love and one yellow for friendship. They were totally unexpected and my heart swooned.
Part of my brain was saying: Didn’t he hear me tell him that we are on a tight budget? The rest of my brain and my heart said, “SHUT UP! He thought of it all on his own!” and “Just enjoy the flowers and the moment!” 🙂 It is nice to get unexpected roses every once in a while.
Free roses… even better. 🙂
