Stopping to Smell the flowers

Flowers from our honeymoon in Jamica.


Sometimes in life I get to busy. It would appear that my life is planned out daily in my calendar...when I have to work, what homework assignments are due and when do I have to do them, when I have class. Even on our fridge we have a menu planned out for the month. (We loosely go by this, but it helps us budget our money and grocery shopping.)




When Jason and I were on our honeymoon, I remember laying out and telling him....we need to savor this moment. Because when we step off the plane in KY, our lives are going back to routine and chaos.




When my life seems so busy (and kids are not even in the equation...gosh I can't imagine how crazy life will be when we have kids) I have to remind myself to stop and smell the flowers. I have to take a moment and soak in all of God's creation and beauty. I need to be mindful of what is going on in the moment and not worry about the next.
