Prompt: Happiness is to hold flowers in both hands. Japanese Proverbs. Write about this quote in your Blog entry today.

I do love flowers but not cut flowers. I rarely buy flowers for anyone much preferring to buy a plant, something pretty which will last much longer than a bunch.
So happiness is holding flowers? I’d have to disagree with that statement. Happiness is much more fleeting. It can be felt when witnessing a child laughing, or when receiving a well meant hug from someone you care about or when getting an unexpected piece of good news. I don’t think we experience happiness each day, the best we may feel is contentment, satisfaction, maybe a moment of bliss when sitting down after being rushed and sipping a lovely cup of coffee or tea. Or soaking in a warm bubble bath and letting the stresses of day go for a while.
So I’d change the quote to ‘happiness is looking at beautiful flowers growing in the sunshine in their natural environment.’
