Welcome to the "Dog Days of Summer"! For a lot of people it can put people in a sour mood. It's too hot, it's too hot to do this or that. Tempers get a bit flared. The same can happen in the winter to people as well. I just thought I'd share my personal journey through these types of days. I just left my primary care physician for my 3 month look over with Blood work, weight etc. All came out great. That isn't the point of this post. My doctor asked me a question: What else is going on in your life that you might want to discuss? I responded, I am Truly Blessed. So if my blood work and all of the things that pertain to my health (other than Mental) are in good shape, I am Perfect! He then said I love your attitude! He asked if I had a secret? I told him Every morning and every night, and sporadically throughout the day I stop and take a mental look around and count my blessings! I have my health, I have my family and their health, I have a roof over my head and I am able to feed myself and my family. What more do I need? This is what I consider "Smelling the roses". There will always be someone with "More" there will always be someone with "Less". But I am content! I still have an amazing drive to work and lead and guide my people everyday, but I am also content where my life has taken me and blessed to be around everyone in my daily life. So today's outfit is for smelling the roses!! Wishing you all a wonderful "Rose Smelling" Day!!
