“Paying it forward” is a movement that has swept across the United States. Receiving something unexpected brings smiles, joy and sometimes even tears. This year local florists are taking part in the movement to spread happiness nationwide.
Pay it Forward with Flowers
Almost everybody enjoys receiving gifts. It’s a natural way to brighten someone’s day when they are feeling down. What most people don’t realize, giving feels as good, if not better than, receiving.
The concept of paying it forward is nothing new. Most of us have even participated. That’s what National Give Something Away Day is all about. Gather up those old clothes in your closet and take them to a charity. Leave a little something in your mailbox for the mail carrier. It doesn’t have to be anything too fancy.
Today is also a great reason to give flowers. Stop by and see your local florist. Buy a bouquet (or two) of daisies, roses, or whatever your florist has available. Now you have everything you need to brighten multiple people’s day! Walk down the street or visit local businesses, and give them away, one-by-one. If you have a few left, stop in at a hospital or nursing home and leave them for the employees or residents. A simple thank you and a pretty bloom can make a big difference. It’s that easy!
Celebrate National Give Something Away Day by paying it forward with flowers!
