New Year’s Eve and the beginning of the New Year can be a time of great joy and happy anticipation or a time of quiet reflection or even regret. For some, the new year arrives with hopes for the future – shared at the stroke of midnight with smiles and a kiss. For others, the turning of the calendar may bring a shot of whiskey – shared or not – with firm resolve to move forward despite what was lost in the year now past.
Mere words may seem inadequate at times in the presence of deep joy or regret, but flowers have the power to communicate in all languages in all seasons and about all things. Whether for celebration or comfort, the fragrance, colors and gentle presence of a tasteful arrangement of Nature’s beauty can add the best of your thoughts and presence to the New Year’s new beginnings.
