One year is over, another is just beginning. We can look back and reflect on every success and every shortfall of 2011, or we can look ahead and plan to do a better job in 2012. We can plan to be closer to those we love, even though the miles separate us. We can plan to educate ourselves with new ideas, so we can make good, intelligent decisions. We can plan to share our lives and our resources so that some one else may be able to get just a little more out of their lives. We can plan on communicating more directly with each other to avoid misunderstandings and hurt feelings. In 2012 we can plan on a being a better someone to someone else.
I come from a big family. There are 7 children and currently 18 grandchildren. There are husbands and wives, in- laws and outlaws and now there are 3 great grand children – all direct descendants of my parents. It’s a houseful! Every year we celebrate our holidays together on New Years Day. This year we had so much more to celebrate on January 1st. We celebrated 3 weddings, 1 birth, the holidays of course, 3 graduations, 4 new jobs, a 50th birthday and continued good health for everyone there. We played games, sang songs, ate great food, drank a toast, got caught up with each other; it was all wonderful. All these milestones in our lives are some of the best times to show some one how much you care about them. I still choose to celebrate these times with flowers….
We had a bridal bouquet for Sandra (one of the new brides), decorations and poinsettia plants to spruce up the house for the holidays. We presented bouquets of congratulations for the graduates and those with new-found employment, a special gift basket for my 50 year old brother Tom, and a vase of mixed spring flowers for my mother (who struggles with her health daily). Flowers can convey your thoughts and emotions as well as any other gift. They are always warmly received.
After this weekend and all the festivities, we will all return home to our successes and short falls of our new year. I hope the successes far out number the short falls. We will remember the weekend we had together in January. It will create a smile on our faces. No one can take that from us.
May your 2012 be filled with success, good health, and happiness. May you and your family have memorable times together. When you need flowers to celebrate the milestones in your family, please give us a call. Thank You.
Happy New Year!
Mickey
