Stop and smell the roses


I send a massive thank you to all my blog and facebook visitors this past week. You have helped to make my 1 year blogversary very special. I hope you enjoyed downloading your freebies every day for the past week.

In Victoria, Australia we have been on  holidays and I can truthfully say I have gorgeously wasted a few days. Sleep ins and just relaxing at home. Not leaving the house unless I really have to.
I went to drop off my teenage daughter at the movies and when I came back I noticed the first two roses for the year.
This reminded me of a time that feels so long ago, but has gone in a blink -  when I was pregnant with our son - 18+ years ago.
I was going to have a check up with the midwife and noticed some glorious roses outside the hospital.
I stopped and smelt them - they had such a lovely scent.
A woman asked me if I was okay as I was talking to myself.
Well I wasn't talking to myself but to my unborn baby about the roses, taking life as it came and enjoying all the little things.
As I think back - have I taken my own advice? Sometimes......
So when I noticed these roses and my two days of nothing - I thought what the heck I deserve a break.
So tomorrow - life kicks back in with dentist, friends for lunch, coffee, time with my husband (he is a teacher as well) and our teenagers and all that lovely holiday stuff.
