Appreciating Flowers Reduces Stress

Posted by in Marlene's Feel Good Blog | 0 comments

Here’s Something To Feel Good About Today!

“There are always flowers for those who want to see them.” Henri Matisse

Flowers are magnificent reminders of life renewing itself; each fragrant blossom holds the promise to bear new fruit.

Whether we live in a city, a suburb or a small rural town, their vibrant color, fragrance, and texture, enrich our daily lives. We give bouquets streaming with ribbons, fill vases in our homes and offices, adorn our tables, halls and altars, because flowers brighten our world and lift our spirits.

The next time you pass a colored field, take a moment to appreciate the blanket of beauty nature has arranged. When you catch a glimpse of a single triumphant bud peeking its way through a sidewalk crack, think about the life force that exists there.

Appreciation for the small, beautiful things in life, helps us to appreciate everything that life has to offer us.

Marlene Moore Gordon

About the Author : Marlene

My passion has always been storytelling whether that involves writing or imagery. Following this passion, I built a 20-year career licensing my unique hand painted illustrations and product designs to renowned companies in the gift, paper, and home décor categories. My clients include Waterford Wedgwood, Tiffany & Co., George Caspari, Shurman Fine Papers, Block China, Simon & Schuster, Random House, Cartier, Shaw Living, Stephen Lawrence, and many more. To view samples of my artwork, just go to http://www.createdigitalart.com/designers/marlene.php. Now, my passion has taken me to blogging, compiling, and sharing stories of people who in their own small way have made a difference in someone’s life; stories that have the amazing ability to reawaken our senses to experience everything that is and can be good in the world and connect us with each other.
