Slow down and smell the flowers

Yu know--there are days I wish the winter was really over--I need to see "green" --like right now--Why can't I appreciate the ice and snow melting outside--

There are days that people at a store irritate me---Why are they so slow?

And of course, sometimes I eat too much, too fast -and never taste the food--

Some days I'm so busy trying to fit too much into a day, I resent taking the animals outside!

And then there is HIMSELF who can't hear what I say and it's frustrating---

Have you ever wondered --Why does everything need to be done now?---



I shall glue this in front of my face---
--because we really only have this day--that we can be sure of--
To-day, I shall slow down and smell the flowers---
