Stop and smell the roses ...

Definition: To relax; to take time out of one's busy schedule to enjoy or appreciate the beauty of life.

Yesterday we pulled out the boots, gloves, winter coat and a beautiful red scarf, and took a short drive to the local exhibition center that was hosting this years Home & Garden Show! Escaping the winter wonderland that feels like we are living in a snow globe, we found ourselves literally smelling the roses for the afternoon!

I thoroughly enjoyed this experience with my sweet Momma; she was all smiles for about three hours. Wanting to smell each flower we passed, and listening to the soundtrack of birds chirping ... a great escape for the day. In addition, they created a beautiful experience, at one point we felt like we were in wine country, as they displayed all the outdoor living options -- with a "Bistro Cafe" set up ... we enjoyed a beautiful lunch together.

So often we become so focused on the finish line, that we fail to enjoy the journey.
