Take Time to Stop and Smell the Roses


Life in Texas moves along at a mozy. It is beautiful weather here--70s and most days are sunny and cool. I love fall and the leaves here are finally starting to change. We have been going on 2 mi walks lately with Nana and Aunt Tammy to get some exercise. Dallin actually rides his bike the WHOLE way! However, he has figured out that Nana will push him if he stops so he does that quite often too. "Ahhhh, that feels so good. Thanks for pushing me Nana!" On our walks, we pass a flower bed and both of my kids get extremely excited and insist on stopping so they can admire and smell the beautiful flowers. It really makes you appreciate the small things that you tend to miss when you have little ones who think it is such a wonder. During this holiday season, it reminds me to stop and enjoy the little things because someday I will look back and realize that they were the big things.

How profound! It is true that the little things ARE the big things! If you want to learn about life, look at it through a child's eyes. Thanks for sharing these wonderful insights with us.
