Tip of the Day

Trees can bring you joy. Plant them. Decorate with photos and paintings of them. Have picture books of trees on your coffee table.

HERE are some traditional associations with trees, according to House Beautiful.

Olive – peace
Oak – power and courage
Palm – peace (the trunk bends w/out breaking)
Birch – new beginnings
Elm – intuition and inner strength
Maple – sense of balance and promise
Cedar – healing
Japanese Maple – peaceful retreat

Like most evergreens, you might think of a fir as a Christmas tree. However, it is a symbol of rebirth and springtime.

Other trees that symbolize happiness:

Cherry, wild plum, wild pear, myrtle, wild apple and fig.
