A dear friend gave me a pot of hyacinths for my birthday. They have burst into bloom and the whole house smells like springtime — instead of the usual eau de chien.
If thou of fortune be bereft
and in thy store there be but left
two loaves
sell one
and with the dole
buy hyacinths to feed thy soul.
Hope you had a wonderful birthday!
I did, thank you very much. xo
I love that little poem. There have been probably about three times when I had about $10 to my name and I spent about half of it on a few flowers to cheer myself up. Not one of those times did it ever end up being a bad decision.
Feeding one’s soul is a wise decision.
