Do you take the time to stop and smell the roses? I never have time to do everthing that I want to, but I always try to take the time to stop and just enjoy life. So what about you? Do you ever stop and just relax? Do you actually stop and smell the flowers?

Yes, I always take time to stop and relax by having a good whole body massage. I also try to walk around and observe beautiful things like flowers, the stars and the moon, anything. For a very hardworking and busy person like I am, I need to pamper myself once in a while to energize our mind and body.

There is one thing about life that's important to remember. Life stops for noone so if you want to stop and smell the roses you have to do it yourself. Take time for life because you won't be alive long in the big picture. I spent 30 years as a workaholic planning to slow down when I retired, well I almost made it to retirement but my heart decided to give out before then and now I can't do any of the things I wanted to do. Stop thinking about smelling the roses and get out there and actually smell them.

yes,you had a very good point here,we should stop and just relax some time,appreciate the nature things,walk around a little river,smell the taste of the flowers and so on,sadly we just cann't do this frequently cause reality is harsh and mostly we are not in mood doing this

Sometimes i forget to stop and smell the roses, sometimes i am too busy at work till i feel like im so exhausted. But a loved one wanted me to stop, enjoy the time coz i am already feeling so tired and stressed and my health was not ok especially last quarter of 2008. Now, every weekend, i tried to treat myself, i go for a run , and i enjoy it so much. Drop by to a coffee shop, oh i love it, and read books or any periodicals. I love to write and express feelings too so i join in here. Not only thinkin about earning, but i do really enjoy discussions here. Happy mylotting
