Flowers

I have decided that having fresh flowers in my living room make me happy.  I usually only have fresh flowers after I put flowers on the altar at church.  That only happens four times a year…the anniversary of my dad’s death, the anniversary of my mom’s death, my dad’s birthday and my mom’s birthday.  It occurred to me this past weekend that I should buy myself fresh flowers on a regular basis.  Why do I only allow myself this happiness (fresh flowers) four times a year?

So, a few days ago I bought a bouquet of lilies.  Big beautiful lilies like we have at church on Easter morning.  My whole apartment smells sweet and the blooms keep opening so each day there is a new flower for me to admire and breathe in it’s heady fragrance.

Here is a picture:

Aren’t they beautiful??
