It's World Mental Health Day, and I want to share something I think about a lot out here in the field.
Researchers at Rutgers gave people flowers and tracked how they felt afterward. Every single person smiled, the REAL kind of smile. For days after, they said they felt less anxious and less down.
Another study at Kansas State found that surgery patients with plants and flowers in their rooms needed less pain medicine.
Flowers aren't therapy. But they're a good way to tell somebody you're thinking about them.
So we want to send some. Comment with the first name and town of someone who could use a bouquet this week. Your own name is fine too. Make sure you're following us so we can reach you. On Thursday we'll pick one person and deliver flowers cut that morning.
We can only deliver to Taylorsville, Cartersville, and Rockmart. Entries close Wednesday 10/14 at 8pm. No purchase necessary, and this isn't sponsored or run by Instagram or Meta.
If today, or any day is heavy for you, you can call or text 988 anytime 💛
