Posted @withregram • @thevillagegreenflowershop I won’t lie! This is hard. We are all dealing with emotions, fears and a collective grief for the world, for those who are sick, those who have or may die, as well as our own individual losses (loss of normalcy, loss of special events and occasions, and loss of the everyday, taken for granted interactions with each other). And then there’s the not knowing what to do! How to move forward with so much uncertainty. As a florist, the questions running through my head now are, “do I plan for Mother’s Day”? Normally I’d have my order in by now (or at least my sales rep would be bugging me for it - right @susiecordeiroburke 😜). What about the growers? Are they still going to grow the flowers to have ready for Mother’s Day even though everything is so uncertain? And filling out forms for government support just feels like a whole lot of overwhelm! And then there is so much I can still do at my shop. I will guiltily say that I sneak over to my shop for a few minutes of sanity. Look at all the things I could be getting caught up (like paperwork, and rearranging and cleaning and working on silk arrangements) and then realize I’m needed more at home for my three kids. And brides who have reached out to me - I promise to get back to you. Just need to get past this overwhelm, reply to my wonderful & patient bookkeeper @andrew_seguin and figure out a new temporary routine. I have a feeling that right when I get that figured out and down pat, this will be all over 😂 Hang in there everyone! I know we are all struggling with this. We all have our own disappointments and struggles. I have wished that my kids were sweet little toddlers for going through this, rather than restless teens. But then I see posts by mamas with little ones also struggling. We are all in this together. #keepsmiling #cryifyouneedto #reachout #wewillgetthroughthistogether #missmyflowers #missmycustomers #goawaycovid19 #thevillagegreenflowershop https://www.instagram.com/p/B-dMdk4jHRD/?igshid=1vhxnxearprs9
