Fresh Flowers On My Desk

They are good for the soul.
Some of you know that my boss was extremely hard on me for about 6 months.....
and at around six months at my job I decided to start 
putting in a (very cool) vase on my desk fresh flowers every week. 
This is something I have always done.
So my routine is that on my first day (saturday) of the week 
I go to Whole Foods and pick up a bunch of flowers. I need them
When I am thinking, 
and literally 'glazed over' 
I stare at my gorgeous flowers 
rather that staring into space (which does nothing for me). 
In addition.....it reminds me that I am worthy.
I am 'gifting' myself.
I need to be surrounded by beauty to feel good about myself.
Just like Dressing well.
Feeding your self esteem is vital.
I started sneaking half of my bunch of flowers into my boss's office six months ago too.
She knows they are from me but we never discuss them.
Since I started working at my company 
I have come to the realization that my boss, 
Laura works harder than any woman I have ever worked with,
And she has 2 children - Need I say more?
I feel that she deserves them. 
I think fresh flowers , 
right about 20 " away from your face does something to you.
I am not completely sure what it is....but it feels so good.
Warm and fuzzy I guess.
Maybe it says to one's soul " Somebody cares" or in my case it says
" I care about me, I deserve these ."
There is a desk in the distance with a plant not fresh flowers.
But I had to post this image because I love it.
Everything about it!!!!!

BTW......
Things have been very nice at work. Laura has been kind and friendly.
Call it brown nosing if you choose to....my coworkers do.
hahahahahhaah
But it comes from the heart.

How do fresh flowers affect you???
