Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

Ray Ruecker with Connect 5000 here.

Does anyone remember the movie “Bed of Roses” back in 1996 starring Christian Slater and Mary Stuart Masterson?

It’s about this guy who delivers flowers to random people, falls in love with a gal, etc. Romance movie.

I connected with a local florist here in town a few years ago.

He said he needed extra help on Valentine’s Day since it’s his busiest day of the year. So I agreed to help him last year and this as well.

It’s fun to get out of your normal routine and element and do something different.

I delivered flowers to people at their work, homes, offices and even the hospital.

As I walked into different locations, everyone smiles and is extra nice to you, while wondering who the lucky recipient will be.

It was perfect weather as well for 50 degrees in February in Kansas City.

The moral here: get out of your daily grind, do something different and go brighten up someone else’s day!

Sometimes while you’re out of your element, you get new ideas and solve problems while it’s not staring you in the face. Cheers!
