My Valentine's roses!

This may seem like a silly blog topic after so long of not posting, but with it being Valentine's Day, this subject has been on my mind all day.

Of course, there has been delivery after delivery of flowers brought into our office. My own sweet, loving husband of almost 10 years sent me a dozen beautiful roses that I adore.

But it never fails that one or two women in an office won't get a special delivery for a variety of different reasons. Maybe they don't have a significant other or that significant other is now deceased. Or maybe their significant other just doesn't realize the importance of the almighty flower.

Now guys, don't think I don't understand where you are coming from. A dozen roses more than double in price on this day and hey, they are just going to die in a few days anyway.

But, you have to realize, we as women do understand this, however, we just can't help ourselves from watching the door to our office or home at every beautiful bouquet that is delivered. Flowers mean a lot to a woman, and here's a helpful hint guys -- the joy that is brought with a bouquet more than makes up for the fact that the flowers will just die in a few days. The memory of your caring will live with your loved one for the rest of her life. I think that makes it worth the extra cost!

And family members should also take a little time on this day to remember those who don't have significant others for one reason or another. I made sure to send my mom, who is divorced, a bouquet of flowers today so that she wouldn't feel left out of all the love being spread around. After all, remember this: Dozen roses, $89; mylar ballons, $15; the smile on the face of the woman you love and the heartwarming feeling of knowing that your man or family loves you after receiving a beautiful bouquet of flowers … priceless!!!!
