JOYFUL ABUNDANCE

⎨Joyful Abundance⎬

I've been faithful to my Intentions, and have been giving myself a posy of fresh flowers every week, since the beginning of this year.

I've been buying them at the florist's, and sometimes at the supermarket. And they never failed to make me feel happy, joyful and abundant.

I've been giving fresh flowers as a thoughtful gift to other people, too. Simple, random acts of kindness springing forth from my heart. Sometimes a bunch, sometimes a single stem, sometimes a little plant.

And I have received flowers and abundance in return as well! Like the day I went to my florist friend and she had chamomile outside in a bucket. 

I thought it had just arrived and was for sale, so I asked for it. I happen to adore chamomile, and all the wild grasses and flowers. It's not easy to find, so when I saw it, my heart exploded with JOY!!! I always reminds me of my hikes in England, when I used to find lots of it. Such a humble flower, that gives me butterflies every time I see it ♡

My friend told me it was not for sale, since it had been laying there for a few days, and it was no longer fresh.

"Ooohhh noo!", I sighed. And I told her I was going to come back for tulips the next day (they had to arrive yet). She must have felt the disappointment in my heart, and remembered how much I love it. So off she went to the back yard, and came back with it.

A gift for me... and she even went ahead and wrapped it in my most favorite paper (she always wraps flowers for customers in the "nicer" types of paper with a bow, but by now she knows I love the super simple, kraft/tissue brown paper... plain and simple with no bow! :)).

What a gift!

I felt so very abundant in ways I cannot even describe in words!!

P.S. I enjoyed it for days and days, and then I dried it! Sooo cool!!! SO MUCH JOY!!! My heart is full.
