"There are always flowers for those who want to see them." Henri Matisse
During challenging economic times such as these, many folks are cutting back. Small daily expenses can really add up, such as that morning trip to the coffee shop. It's smart to eliminate frills and concentrate on the essentials. But as we become more conscious of how we spend our money, we should be careful not to cut out all the little things that bring us joy. Fresh flowers on the kitchen table may seem like an extravagance to some, but if they feed your soul, how could you ever put a price tag on that?
It may be a struggle just to earn a living, but life needs to be more than the daily grind. We need to not merely make a living, but make a life and enjoy that life. There is beauty all around us, some of it totally free of charge, if we have but eyes to see it.
