Making time.

I found myself feeling stressed and anxious this morning. So much to do and so little time in the day. The sky was grey and muted by the clouds - I could smell the rain in the distance. I took a breath and decided to wander the garden to clear my head.

The smell of roses has almost the same effect as lavender to me - a calm soothing smell that takes over my senses and makes me feel feminine and alive.

My thoughts are wrapped up in the shop right now. But, there is another big event that has me contemplating and wondering what it will be like - our youngest starts school on thursday and I wonder if he will be brave and take it in his stryde. Will he cry? Will I cry? Will he make friends? Will he like school? So much to worry about.

Many things cross our minds during the day and many things float away just like the clouds but its important you take the time to *smell the roses* pardon the pun , I am a true believer in this task. One minute, thirty seconds or even just a glance and a big exhale out is all you need sometimes.
