Cherish I Nourish I Flourish
Ello Lovelies, How are we doing? 
Relationships are critical with us as well as others well being. Every relationship has a sense of purpose. Our needs may not be perfectly aligned with other's needs from a relationship. It could vary. Nobody is perfect and we all have our limitations. And, accepting our limitations as well as other's could help us to build a better and stronger relationships. What do you think?
We are in various relationships because it has a sense of purpose and directly or indirectly it is linked with our happiness. We're in specific relation because somewhere we experience or hope Joy. So, Cherish, Nourish and Flourish could help us to be happy in our relationships with others.
Cherish what you've right now. We have all forms of expectations from oneself as well as others. Due to it many a times, we forget or just ignore the value of what we already have. Our friends, family, our improvements and so on. So, cherishing is about shifting your perspective from "What will we have in future" to "What we have today." Due to one or other reasons we get stressed over tiny issues. Who knows if the person will be with us or not? We realize later when relations are over, people walked away from our lives. Need to change. Let's cherish what relations and people we have today and enjoy them.
Nourish your relationships. We all have space for improvements. No relationships is perfect. We could improve. And, that;s what make a better and beautiful relationships. Do something everyday for your relationships to keep it closely well knitted and nourish it time to time. Relationships are like saplings. The better air, water and temperature it needs to grow in a tree. It is outcome of constant efforts.
Flourish Relationships. Relationship are like Rome. We can't build it in a single day. It will grow with time and mutual efforts of both. A relation could face many ups and downs. Self-control, willpower, dedication will allow us to sail through all the hurdles. Just take time and let it flourish on own.
And, it will help us to experience happiness and joy from these wonderful relationships we built over the years.
i) What makes you happy in a relationship?
ii) What's your idea to cherish, nourish and flourish relationships?
Come and join me to celebrate world's happiness day and focus on our relationships a bit.

@ASilentObserver
HAPPY HAPPINESS DAY TO U.... HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY AHEAD ... KEEP SMILING. ☘🎶
@charmingBeauty55 Thank You Beauty. How are you doing?
@ASilentObserver
DOING GREAT YET.... WHAT ABOUT U ?
@ASilentObserver Hello Obs! :) I really love this post as this is something I always try to remember to do in regards to my relationships. :)
i) What makes you happy in a relationship?
What makes me happy is being able to feel comfortable, be myself, and talk about how I feel. :)
ii) What's your idea to cherish, nourish and flourish relationships?
My idea to cherish, nourish, and flourish relationships is to constantly have open communication in order to talk about any problems, insecurities, plans, achievements, and more. Also, quality time as often as possible helps immensely to keep a relationship strong and happy. :)
@SaimaK hey Saima 💕 glad to hear you. Agree with you. Open communication could really help to nourish, flourish and allow to cherish it. Loved it. Yay!! Thank you
@ASilentObserver I am glad you loved it! :) Thank you <3
Thanks for the post, I have come to realize that relationships and the skills to make and maintain them are my kryponite. I will learn more from this site and improve myself.
@ruffneckred hi Ruff 😊 Glad to see you. And, absolutely we will learn, share and grow together.
@ASilentObserver love the Rome analogy. It's so true. Relationships are a lot of work but we must cherish them. Communication is always key and even if you need some space to think or cool down I still believe that your partner should be informed of it instead of disappearing. Sometimes we have to work on ourselves first and if self care is needed then communicate it. You have to care for yourself and your partner to allow it to flourish
@ninetaleslove I liked the idea of self-care and keep them updated about it. Definitely, when we are in better state, then only we could able to make better efforts in the relationships. Thank you Nine.
@ASilentObserver
It's a thought-provoking post,so let me see what I have to say about the questions asked here.1. What makes me happy in a relationship is having someone to trust and share with.2. What I cherish in a relationship is the moments spent together,the common goals achieved.How can you nourish a relationship - by being open and honest with each other,be solution-oriented.How can a relationship flourish -by mutual support,I think.
@intellectualCake2979 absolutely good thought cake. Mutual support we need to flourish in our relations.
Hi 😊 thank you for sharing lovely thoughts with us.
And something else,not quite related to the post but do you think women should or can have guy friends,can you be just triends with a guy without the risk of complications as regards intimacy,can you just go out for a coffee or share?What's your experience?
@intellectualCake2979
Yes It is absolutely possible Cake. It gets complicated when emotions we experience vary and not aligned with other person. However with open communication, we can keep thoughts clear leading to maintaining a good friendship.
@ASilentObserver,
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with me!Really appreciate it!So,is it better then if I am unsure of a guy's intentions to openly ask him or will that be too direct?I hadn't been in a relationship for a while,plus there is this guy who is way younger than me.I get the feeling he kind of likes me,offered me a ride,I refused because he had acted a bit rude towards me before.I read somewhere that sometimes if a guy likes you,he can show this in a funny way,even by being a bit mean to the woman but,I don't know,doesn't this show insecurity on behalf of the guy?I don't want to be with someone who doesn't want to or is afraid to feel his own feelings and is angry with the woman because he has feelings for her,let's say.Sorry to bother you with this but it's just I need an outside opinion and more objective one.Then a while ago I heard he was obviously in a committed relationship and about to get married.So maybe he is just trying to play me and "get the best of both worlds",figuratively speaking.So,the point is,should I confront him for acting like he is single,he never said anything about a woman in his life,still to this day he has never talks to me about this,pretends like he is single when he talks to me.Should I ask him why he offered oo give me a ride when he obviously has a girlfriend?Is that usual for men to do,I think it sounds confusing.Would you,for example,offer a lift to a woman if you are in a committed relationship,why would you do it,is it just a friend's gesture,I can't say I know him that well,just talking to him things related to work.Maybe he thinks,since I am a single mum,I am desperate for attention and vulnerable,don't have much of a choice and will be quick to fall for his games? I wish I knew what to do in this situation because I hate being unsure and obsessing over an issue.Do I sound vulnerable and obsessed?At the beginning he looked at me in this strange way,he just stared at me which was pretty uncomfortable at times,makes you wonder,what 's up with him,why is he doing it?Any thoughts would me much appreciated,especially coming from a guy's point of view.Sorry if I sound too pushy with .my questions!
@intellectualCake2979 I get this Cake. I can understand the thoughts rushing in your mind. We can't say what's in his mind or intentions. We can't assume considering the fact we all are different. As you asked me, I would offer ride to my friend because I find it's okay to give lift to friend. However, can't say that this is same case for him or not. How about taking your time to identify more and then decide if need to confront directly or not? You are always welcome to discuss about it with me 1-1 in pm. I'll be glad to speak and support you. Hugs <3
@ASilentObserver,
Thank you so much!This means a lot to me!I'd really appreciate your helpi in 1-1 pm ,but will you ,please,in case I misunderstand something,tell me what "pm" stands for?Is it abbreviation for "personal" or "private" ?Do I need to register somewhere different to get through to you or what do I need to do?Sorry if that's too much trouble for you!
I'll follow your thought that maybe I should wait for a while,I am not the kind of woman who is used or comfortable approaching guys first or initiating anyway but it's really becoming quite unsettling and I don't have much of a choice here,because I need the place for my work,I can't just quit,but I don't want to be in the dark,either ,I want to have peace of mind,not wonder all the time and right now it's not happening .
a) What makes me happy in a relationship is compassion. Being able to put yourself in another person's shoes (and viceversa) makes me feel special, understood and not alone.
b) I think being empathetic and beginning to practice this gradually (because empathy is not built in a night I believe) would help create better and stronger relationships.
@resourcefulbear6750
Lovely thought bear. Agree with your views. <3 <3 Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Hugs <3
@ASilentObserver Thank you! Great post!
i) What makes you happy in a relationship? It makes me very happy when people are honest with you, trust is the most important thing in any relationship. :)
ii) What's your idea to cherish, nourish and flourish relationships? I think we should all focus on each other rather than ourselves, as with that, we can be able to learn more about ourselves in the process. We should also understand that relationships take time, don't rush into them, take it easy and slowly progress over time, time is key.
@brendenjensen Great thoughts Brenden. Simply loved it. Thank you for sharing your insights with us. You're amazing. <3
