Hi darlin!
Today I have my first chemo infusion in addition to my chemo pill regimen. I’ve been pretty anxious about the infusion- I really don’t like getting IVs stuck in my arms or chemicals pumped into my body. But I am willing to give it a go if it’s going to help save my life;)
With that said, I thought it would be a great time to dig into the Amusing Mondays Archives and find something fun or wonder-filled to lift me up today. Odds are pretty good that you may need a little lift today too so I’m going to share it out! I picked this one at random- which is great because I have been wanting some flowers and here they are! Please share in the comments if you’d like to contribute!

I keep thinking that I'm going to get back to some heavy-duty musing, but my guidance keeps leading me toward the light, so here goes...
Yesterday I saw a post in my Buy Nothing Group. Â Someone had dumped hundreds of flowers and arrangements from an event by the dumpster. Â The woman who runs the local reuse center asked one of our members to post a pic and encourage everyone to come get some flowers. Â
I LOVE FRESH FLOWERS! Â But my budget doesn't allow me to purchase them very often. Â Oddly enough, I hesitated about going over. Â Look...it was only a mile away. Â It's not like I had to drive to Peru. Â But still my creative blocker-- my "you can't have that, you don't deserve that"- popped up. Â Rather than listen to it, I got in my car and drove to the dumpster. Â
What happened next? Â
I met some of my neighbors who also came to get some flowers
I met the woman who runs the reuse center
I discovered a quirky art studio area that I didn't know was there.
I got to design flower arrangements and realized I'm pretty darn good at it.
I rescued flowers from the trash.
And I am now enjoying beautiful flowers, all over my apartment!
It also led me to thinking about how much "stuff" we waste that others could use. And how much abundance there is out there if we are willing to receive it.
Until next time…enjoy the flowers!
