Stopping to Smell the Roses

Stopping to smell the roses can be a beautiful thing to do. It shows that you care about the beauty around you. Everything has a smell to it but the smell of roses in my opinion are the best. The way their petals are shaped makes them beautiful because they all are not designed the same way, but they all come together to form one beautiful flower. Roses with thorns are handled with care. The thorns protect them I believe. I believe they protect them from harm, especially the stems. Who wants to be pricked by a thorn? Those things hurt.

Stopping to smell the roses means to slow down and take it easy. There is no point being in a rush all of the time, it isn’t going to make the time speed up or slow down. When you’re in a rush all of the time you miss the important things around you, you miss moments to make memories, and then the day is gone. We live one day at a time and it cannot be taken for granted. We must cherish every moment given and make the best of our lives each day.

I say roses because there are many layers to them just as there are many layers to us. We all go through moments of growth, pain and hurt. Roses start out as buds just as we do, little seeds that are fertilized that eventually grows into something beautiful. Roses comes in many colors just as the human race, but we are just as beautiful as they are; even more so. They grow and stay in one place, we grow and move from place to place until we find a place to settle and put down roots.

Plants are rooted and grounded unless they are uprooted and planted in a different place. They cannot come and go as they please because they are not humans. Think about yourself and what you need to do to slow down and smell the roses, or whatever kind of flower you may like. Just know that it is good to take time to do it to smell something so sweet as it is.
