Relax, it's the weekend......

Have you ever had one of those Saturday mornings where the sun was shining, crisp breeze in the air and a hot cup of coffee in hand? I know they are far and few between, but I am so thankful for those mornings that seem to "just be perfect" Moment's like these in life may not happen very often. I know even when things are going smoothly and everything should be ok; my inner soul can have struggles. I have learned and am still learning that life has so many variables that fellow type A and OCD individuals :-0  can get overwhelmed with it all. My struggle to just be "in the moment" and enjoy the good times is an ongoing journey. Taking the time to slow down and take in the beauty of a simple day can be hard with all the stuff going on in the world. I remember a time when my son was about 4 years old. We entered the supermarket (rushed as usual) trying to get a few things at the last minute. I held his hand as we entered the store and flew by floral section. He kept saying mom...mom....after the third time, I finally stopped and asked him what he wanted. He turned and pointed to the flowers that were quite a few steps away by now, and said to me, "you didn't stop to smell the roses". WOW What an eye opener!....Over the years, I would purposefully stop at the floral section with him and smell the roses. It was a LOUD reminder that at times our children will remind us to slow down and enjoy life...out of the mouth of babes.
