Note to self, spend less time on my phone and be more creative

Did you know that I used to work in the local florists part time? I loved that job so much! The best part for me was creating the wreaths, which were usually for funerals but I loved putting them together. I would start with larger leaves underneath and fill it out using all different types of foliage and then my favourite part would be to add the colourful flowers and it would all just come together. You may have read my last post about feeling a bit under the weather lately, and I think my Gran noticed that I wasn’t feeling too great. So, she tried to lift me up by getting me to do stuff, like creating a wreath for the door and collecting all the foliage for it. I’m so glad I have people around me who notice and help, even though I know I’m one of those people who doesn’t want to be helped and act as if I can do it all on my own. Sometimes we need a little lift, even if it’s as simple as this. FYI, I don’t want you to feel sorry for me, I just hope this may reach someone who needs lifting up or needs to know that they’re not on their own. So if you do feel like crap, take some time away from your phone or from whatever it is that makes you feel like shit and go do something creative or something that you love.

A couple of wreaths I made during my time at the flower shop which were my favourite pieces of work and I was super proud of them. Can’t believe this was more than 3 years ago!
