Birthday Flowers
Celebrating a birthday
with birthday
flowers
is making our birth
day,
our entry into the only world that we will have come to know as the most
significant day
in our lives.
Birthday
flowers
send
the symbolic message to us, and to others,
that our time has come and deserves the life affirming symbolism
that to receive or to send
flowers
on a birthday
is momentous indeed.
The convergence between the meaningfulness of flowers
and how our birthdays
came to be associated, sends
to us other historical associations with birthdays.
Such as birthday
gifts,
birthday
cards and even balloons.
What’s in a Birthday?
It began with the marking of time.
As soon as humans figured out how to mark time, it was possible to
figure out the cyclical pattern of time and how our birthday
fell on the same day
each year within a 12 month cycle.
Now how did flowers
and birthdays
ever get associated?
The meaningfulness of flowers
over the course of history started out innocently enough.
Appearing beautiful and being fragrant attracted the attention of
humans who soon learned of the healing qualities of at least herbal flowers,
and of course the spiritually uplifting qualities of flowers
that were visually striking.
Thus,
it was natural that flowers
should find their way into the most significant days
in our lives. The
date of our entry into this world: our birthday.
It’s pleasurable to behold a flower that’s beautiful and fragrant, and
so flowers
make
us happy. And that’s exactly
the feeling we want to send
when we send
birthday
flowers.
We want to say your day,
your birthday
is a happy day;
and you deserve to feel happy
from the flowers
we send
you.
40th Birthday Flowers
To
send Birthday
flowers
on the 40th
birthday
to someone delivers no simple
birthday
message. 40th
birthdays
is the separation between the age of wisdom
and a life filled with action
and accomplishment.
40th
birthday
flowers
indicate this separation
between reaping the rewards of a life filled with action and its
resultant accomplishments.
Wisdom, the rewards of the 40th
birthday,
is a kind of anniversary
birthday
for it gives the perspective of 4 decades or 2 generations from
which to see the course of one’s journey from one’s first birthday
to one’s arrival to one’s 40th
birthday
How happy
can one be to receive birthday
flowers,
and a birthday
party
celebrating so much accomplishment on
the 40th
birthday?
The happy celebrant can review one’s
accomplishments
and can for the first time in their life, possibly at the peak of their
career, will have the power to share one’s
accomplishments with younger folks who are still trying to achieve
theirs.
