Smell Those Roses.

Lately, things have been tougher and busier than usual.

Just when life seems the most hectic, always, those breath taking trials come to knock you off your feet a while.

I feel like I've been on the ground more often than not lately.

In the rush of hectic life,

I can recognise my trials for what they are.

I expect lessons to be learned.

Just the same routine 

In a rose-less responsibility-driven life.

Though

In light of recent events that have touched so many lives,

Unexpected lessons have been learned,

And ultimately changed my perspectives

In ways that I never dreamed.

Its strange how something so small in your world

But so big in anothers,

Could change your life.

Tears are shed and prayers are offered

Lessons are learnt and strength is gained,

 I can feel that hand on my shoulder

and hear the silent and familiar voice encouraging me back to my feet...

Unsignificant moments are suddenly precious

New appreciation for the knowledge I have

Feeling of my Heavenly Fathers love

Sudden motivation to do the things I previously loathed

Desire to hear/read of things that had become a chore to me

Because that's what brings me enjoyment now

Overflowing of Gratitude I had forgotten in the monotone

And best of all,

Im feeling maybe a little bit more brave, peaceful and lucky.

I slow down.

I figure being on the ground is a good way to see the world from a different angle.

And I can suddenly see roses everywhere.

Every moment matters most..

My life seems to be all about smelling those roses now.

Everyday is a good day.

And its all Thanks to someone I barely knew.

Thank You.
