Smell The Flowers

July 12, 2009

In  our lives of all the hustle, and bustle, we sometimes forget to slow down and   ”Just smell the flowers “.

The changes in this world of two parent workers, has made the time families spend together a little bit harder to obtain,  then in the time when I was a young girl.  We had  Sundays as the day when everyone would Not have to work, and the family just hung out together . We could find the time to smell the flowers.   I wish that sometimes the times would revert back to the Sunday off for all who worked.   But, there is no hope for that to happen.  The all mighty dollar has taken over our lives.  I feel sad, when I see life so busy, and those that need to spend time with loved ones,  cannot obtain that time.  The child, the mom, the dad, the grand-parents who need the structure of family.  The time to talk, embrace, and bond and show thier love for each other.

We all need to lie down in a bed of flowers and partake of the aroma, and the soothing feeling that comes from taking the time.  Calming, and relaxing. The removal of the every-day stresses.  We can’t go back in time, but we can still take the time to smell the flowers.

So, “Smell”  those beautiful flowers, laugh a lot, tell a joke, smile, and relax. Your heart will thank you for it..
