We are a society with a full schedule. From the moment the alarm clock goes off in the morning, we are moving quickly – running errands, checking off to-do lists, attending appointments, and fulfilling responsibilities. Our “downtime” is often filled by reading emails and returning texts. We all seem to lament the fact that there never seems to be enough time in a day.

But on August 27, we are given a chance to let all of that go for a few hours. Just Because Day was created out of a desire to celebrate life, family, and leisure time – and to fill the day with activities we enjoy. The floral designers at Zeidler’s Flowers have been providing the flowers for your special occasions for decades – but we also understand that when someone receives flowers “just because”, it is truly special. That is why we wanted to share some of our favorite ways to slow down and enjoy some leisure time. And why not? 

What would you do if you could do anything? Perhaps you would curl up on your couch and read a good book, or maybe going for a hike through the woods is more your style. You may wish to linger at the neighborhood coffee shop and start some conversation, or head out to the golf course for a leisurely round. Your idea of a perfect day may be to finally visit that exclusive new restaurant, and to order your guilty pleasure dessert. On Just Because Day, the main concern is to have no concern at all – simply enjoy yourself!

Of course, the original intent of the day was to make those close to you smile – just because. So bake some cookies, write a love note, share a picnic, or stay up late together catching up with your favorite shows. And if they ask why, simply answer with a cheerful “Why not?”

Giving flowers “just because” carries so much significance because flowers are generally tied to special occasions. When a beautiful floral bouquet arrives for no particular reason other than to express affection, it has a truly uplifting effect on the recipient. So send some flowers to that coworker who is always smiling, the receptionist at your child’s school, or to the mentor you haven’t spoken to in years. In fact, why not send a bouquet to yourself? Filling your home with your favorite flowers never needs an explanation or reason. Whether you are celebrating a special event, or there is no special occasion at all – flowers make every day in Evansville more beautiful. Trust the experts at Zeidler’s Flowers to provide the bouquets, arrangements and designs you’ll need to make every day the best that it can possibly be.
