I love flowers. When I do a gratitude list flowers are always on there. I used to think that only a man or someone else could buy me flowers. When I first started dating my fiance I thought he would show up with flowers in hand every day proclaiming his love. I thought this for about a year, and when he had flowers I was so excited. When he showed up empty handed I felt not enough. I finally confessed my wants to a friend who replied, “Hallie if you want flowers, don’t wait for David to buy them for you; buy them for yourself.” I had never thought about buying flowers for myself. Why would I do that? David needs to do it to show me I am special… and then I got it. I don’t think I am special enough to buy flowers for. I needed the affirmation from others, because I didn’t know how to do it for myself. A few days later I went to a Farmers Market and bought myself some fresh flowers. I went home, put them in a vase, and for the next week when I walked by them I would smile. I am special! Today I buy flowers for myself, and David buys them for me as well. Flowers remind me that I am special, and so are you. Go buy yourself some flowers today.
