How Often Do You Stop to Smell the Roses?

Expressing appreciation and gratitude is an important act. Taking the time to appreciate the simple things in life, such as roses, can help promote positive thoughts.
 
It's a timely expression in today's chaotic environment. People are so engrossed in achieving wealth, fame and power. Technology had speed up the process of development where most have forgotten to feel their surroundings. The internet had replaced what used to be a good place to relax enjoying the sight of a butterfly circling a pretty rose petal.
 
The roses in my life are not simple, they are the reason for my life. I'm here following the scent where it leads me, however strange the journey it is joyous.
I try to express my appreciation and gratitude daily, but more specifically the wonder of it and the promise in it keep me alive.
 
I've really been trying to do this a lot more in the last few years. It's been rough since I've been dealing with a lot of life changes and health issues, but those things have been the catalyst. It's nice to be reminded every now and then that we should try to practice gratitude whenever we can.
