Your Month's Flower and Its Meaning

Today is March 1, but I am already thinking of June 1. The date is the estimated date of my downsizing move from my 4 BR,2.5 B (2177 sq. ft ) single residence and living alone to a smaller 2BR, 2 B townhouse/condo with all the Club Amenities ( social, physical, educational etc...) with Dinah my oldest daughter and hopefully Batman & Robin. I plan on hiring all professionals to assist me in this move, starting with selling my house, furniture and throwing all junk and accumulations to the Dump. Wish me Luck! Today blog is about Flowers.

The Latest Rose from My Garden-August 17, 2022

Rose is the flower of people born in the month of June. Do you know the color of this rose? Fuchsia or magenta?

I thought that my flower is poinsettia being born in the Month of December. I was wrong according to this article: https://www.ftd.com/blog/celebrate/birth-flowers-what-they-say-about-you But I am correct in the second article at bottom of the page.

Do you know your birth month flower and its meaning? If you do I salute you!

1. Long before email, texting, instant messages or even phone calls, people used flowers to communicate. The language of flowers — also known as floriography — was popular in the 18th and 19th century. While we now have more ways to communicate, the messages told with flowers are as meaningful today as ever. Each birth month flower has a unique meaning, and is sure to make the recipient feel extra special.

Month	Birth Flower	Meaning
January	Carnation Snowdrop	Admiration, love Hope, rebirth
February	Violet Primrose	Modesty, faithfulness Young love
March	Daffodil	New beginnings, prosperity

2. But according to the article below it is Poinsettia. So I am correct after all. See the photos below:

Joys of Retirement at Chateau De La Mer, Marinduque, Philippines

I have been retired from USFDA since 2002. At first, I feel I have lost my identity as an individual or have lost my contribution to society. However, within a few weeks all these feelings were gone. It started when my wife and I started baby sitting one of our grandchildren. As some economics professor states: "Your children are your capital investments, but your grandchildren are your profits. That is why you love your grandchildren more than your children". I really agree with the statement. Retirement also gives you lots of time to do things you like to do, such as your hobbies and of course travel. In my case, I turned my hobby of gardening and landscaping into a small business in the Philippines. This endeavor was planned about five years before 2002. That year my wife and I started construction of our retirement home in Boac, Marinduque , Philippines. The next year we built a beach house, followed by a Conference Hall two years later. Needless to say, planning and executing the landscaping was a challenge and very enjoyable. With the help of local labor, I not only enjoy the time gardening and landscaping, but also help improved the economic situation of the province by providing work and jobs to the local residents. With plenty of time, I have engaged into two specific activities as follows: First, I created a website for my small business. By trial and error, I created and design the website, www.chateaudumer.com I have never been a computer nerd or expert. But with plenty of time and patience, the fruits of my labor could be enjoyed if you visit the website above. The second activity, I have not done before was to utilize on-line activities, such as shopping, paying bills ( save you stamps) and playing computer games in the Internet. I really enjoyed playing duplicate bridge on line. You play with players all over the world and can chat in between games. But be careful, you are not spending too much time in the computer. It is very addictive. With a lots of time, my wife and I devoted more time on our favorite humanitarian project. For the last 15 years, we have been involved with medical mission to the province of Marinduque. For details please visit the website: www.marinduqueinternational.org As a summary, the joy one gets on retirement is very specific for an individual. Some enjoy their free time by learning new activities, getting involved with humanitarian projects or spending more time with their grandchildren. Others hate it, since they missed their former jobs and co-workers. Others with no children still enjoy retirement by traveling, turning their hobbies into business or more community involvement. Of course those that retire and hate it, is believe to die earlier than those that enjoy their retirement years. So, plan your retirement as early as you can. The happier you are on retirement, the longer you will live.
