Squeezing the Fun Out of Joy Since 2016

Did you know that yesterday was “National bring flowers to someone day”? Of course you did. I got home from infusion day to find the loveliest bouquet of flowers on my porch from the MOTI. What a way to end a not-so-fun day. The arrangement is as gorgeous as ever and will fill the house with color and fragrance, color and joy all weekend.

Multi-colored peonies, light pink roses, dark pink snaps, white anemones and lush greenery create this artful arrangement. Life doesn’t get any better than this.

So thank you for making my day – and Raj’s too – by “bringing someone flowers.”

And now, a note on the passing scene: its hard to overstate the fact that Trump has had an amazing and awesome week. And he has 2 more days to go. I can’t wait. Already we’ve seen economic ties and agreements – like no one has seen before – made. We’ve heard the shut down Iran and the shut down of Iran’s proxies who felt free to attack us and Israel with impunity under the Biden administration.

Peace through strength, such a fascist concept. The Democrats feel required to protest it like it was 1965; singing, whining and stomping their collective feet over everything Trump does. It’s almost as if the don’t want America to be great again.

Mother’s Day Redux

It’s mother’s day, don’t forget to get mom some flowers. It doesn’t matter if you pick them, plant them or purchase them.

Every mom loves flowers

To celebrate mothers is to celebrate life itself. Like virtually everything else in life there are exceptions but for the most part mothers are indeed exceptional in their unconditional love and devotion. At a Mother’s Day gathering in 2017 Melania Trump explained it this way:

“Mother is a title that claims your heart and changes your life forever. In fact, it has been said that having a child means allowing your heart to walk around outside of your body.”

So if you’re lucky enough to still have your mom around, grab some flowers and thank the woman who let her heart walk around independent of her body.

And if she’s no longer with you, honor her memory by recalling the good times you had when you were both impossibly young.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms out there – and to everyone who has, or ever has had, a Mom.
