Day 288

That saying 'stop and smell the roses' is true, you should at every given opportunity. I had a super busy day today, I was up and out of the house bright and early, and didn't get home till dinner time, it was a warm day but gray and windy so I was wondering what I could get a photo of, I wanted to do it quickly because I wanted to get home, I was tired. When I dropped Sofie off, I noticed one of her roses was just blooming and decided to take a closer look. I mean how much quicker can you get, right outside the door, there it is. As I looked at the little flower I was amazed at how beautiful it was, I'm not sure I've ever really looked at a rose, but I did tonight. Look at the delicate patterns the petals make as they wind around each other, isn't it amazing how perfect nature is? Next time I have a busy day, either at work or at play I will make sure to stop and smell the roses, and look at the small details, they are the most interesting.

"Flowers...are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
