Stop and Smell The Roses

I never really knew what that meant until one day I looked up and my children were almost grown.  I was so busy with work, housekeeping, etc, that I almost forgot the most important things in life.  So every day I stop and make time for my family and friends.

I have a friend that developed 2 lumps in her breast and thank God they were not cancer.  I am just so thankful that years ago, I did make the decision to take time for my friends and family.  My friend is a wonderful person and I am so thankful that she is still with me.

  • Thanks for the reminder! Sometimes we really do get absorbed by our own daily routine and forget to focus on more important things in life!

  • Sweet.

    If we could all do that our lives would be that much more richer.

    Personally, I spend alot of time with my children and took off from my career to be home with them while they're growing up. It's a sacrifice, but I'm glad I did it.

  • Thanks for the note! It's nice to be reminded of these things in today's day and time of go-go-go!
