Take a moment and...


“Stop and smell the flowers”.... most of us know what it means...
 but how often do we actually stop and smell the flowers?

This expression was intended to help us realize the importance of enjoying the  
simple pleasures of life.
But many of us forget to take time to do this nearly as much 
as we should or as much as we think we do.

Take a moment from your usual routine today to notice the little things around you...

And you might just pick a flower along the way... 

Stay Cozy, 
Carrie

  2. I say this all the time. I remember telling my cousin this. She never had time to plan a get together. When I told her this she suddenly changed. You never know how much time you have left so you need to make the best of it. She was the cousin I lost last year to H1N1
