March 4

Today sucked. I woke up feeling horrible and was cranky all day long. Still, I deliberately stopped when I saw these at Costco:

I stopped because I was mindful of the importance of stopping to smell the roses whenever the opportunity presents itself.

And those roses reminded me that it's important to be thankful --and to express that thankfulness-- no matter what our circumstances.

So I sniffed those roses. And hopefully tomorrow will be better.
