...us to remember what happened a year ago? I can't even remember what went on last week, much less what the weather was in mid-February of 2014. So for them to think I can recall what might have caused a major drop in sales of red roses twelve months past, is bordering on the ridiculous. Isn't that what we have the experts for? Those guys who do the statistical analysis and plug the sales numbers into the computer to determine how or why things happen like they do for predicting future trends? Isn't that why those techno. guys make the big money? While I am muddling along trying to make ends meet?
According the numbers that the managers can print from the computer about the sales volume for any day this year, versus history, we sold twice as many 'somethings' (roses, plants, blooming things) as we did on the same day the previous year. Meaning Wednesday will be a tough act to follow - but hopefully all the advertising every retailer is doing promoting Heart Day will get people even more in the mood to buy things to give friends, family, co-workers. I am often amazed, and constantly confounded when seeing people buy things to give to others they care about, while they will look at themselves and say: Unworthy. 'I don't deserve to have flowers, or chocolate, or a good relationship, or kindness, or good friends, or a happy life, or to be kind and generous and loving to myself, but I can purchase a gift for someone else who is more deserving than I'.
Really? Don't you think you are deserving? Get real! If you don't treat yourself well, who do you think is going to shower you with blessings?
