Slow down and smell the roses. What do you think this means?

Question

Answer 1

Open your eyes and enjoy the nice little events and things which are often overseen in the rush: a smile from a stranger, a break chatting with a friend, a family meeting, a poem or a song on the radio, bringing some flowers home, a thank you for a little help, or just taking a few minutes to admire the rising sun, etc. and taking more time for yourself.

You're very welcome, and thank you, Jack Henri Kraven, your kindness is inspiring.



After all, true quality takes time ...

Answer 2

It sounds like people have to take some time to enjoy in their busy schedule.

Answer 3

As a florist who has been home sick with flu for the last couple of days, unable to smell anything, and do very little... it is a very confusing order.

Better get busy and smell the roses again.

Answer 4

I'll often stare up at the Silhouette of a Dead Tree in Winter Darkness and think 

My God , that is so Beautiful and yes I am thanking God at the time

Answer 5

Take a pause from all stress and just relax and enjoy other things.

Answer 6

Take the time and enjoy life instead of being a worrywart.

Answer 7

Take time to realize that most of the things you are rushing to do, don't mean a damned thing in the big picture.

Applied now, it would mean turn off the computer, leave your cell phone at home, and take a walk now and again.

You have a great avatar, where is your image from, a western?

A close up of a custom action figure someone made. How weird is that.

Cool, what a great idea, it sure worked good...looks great.

I like it. I'd buy the figure if it was for sale.
