With family, work, chores, errands, hobbies, entertainment, and other pursuits, our lives can easily become full of activity. Before long we can become quite busy, going from one activity to the next, never taking time to rest and do what Herby suggests: stop and simply enjoy the pleasures in life we often take for granted.

Do you find your life so busy sometimes you forget to enjoy it? What in your life would you like to take time to enjoy and appreciate more?

Like roses, there are wonderful things in life that we can miss out on if we’re not spending time enjoying them. Only filling your life with productive activity is missing the point. Take time to not just plant, water, fertilize, prune and maintain a garden of roses, but also to “stop and smell them every now and then.”
