Smell The Roses

So many disturbing and difficult things are going on in our world right now.
It might be nice to stop awhile and smell the roses.
And remember simple things that make us smile
Like:
Dusk over the sea.
Like: Sunset over the mountains. Like:
The red poppies opposite our house in Spring.
Like:
Family at Christmas. Like: Our boys. Like: Our girls. Like: Family anytime. Like: Our babies.

Like: Other kinds of babies.

Like: Best friends. Like:

The fun and pizzaz of teenagers. Like:

The lump-in-the-throat charm of little kids. So many things - so easy to take 'em for granted.

Let's not.
