Smelling The Roses

Last week I took Clara and Afton on a walk through one of our favorite places- Brookside Gardens. The flowers were out in full bloom and I got a kick out of watching them sniff at the roses. I decided that we should come back for Family Home Evening that night and all smell the roses. It suddenly seemed important for me to stress the importance of slowing down in our lives and appreciating the small things. Cheesy? Absolutely! But definitely worth it.
