MY TWO CENTS
Flowers leave some of their fragrance in the hand that bestows them… One interpretation of this quote is that there is no act of kindness that goes unrewarded. I read it to mean more or less the same, that by giving, it is amazing what you can receive back. I know by sharing flowers you will always be giving a smile and receiving one too. When was the last time you gave someone a single flower or bouquet?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
It is said that China has created more proverbs than any other religion or region, though the origins of many have faded with time. They are written by many such as Confucius and other ancient sages. They often give me much to ponder.

It is a great reminder of the joy of giving. I’m always pleased to have a little fragrance on my hands.
Recently I received a beautiful bouquet from a lovely young woman. It was a delightful treat. I hope the
giver has felt much happiness as her reward.
I so agree that there is much joy in giving!
