What do mornings smell like?
Posted by MaryPat on June 21st, 2010It’s so cliche, “take time to smell the flowers”.
But Monday’s are my admin days and it is typical to spend 6-7 hours on the phone catching up on details from my team members and a sales team that I manage.
So this afternoon when I was forcing my 6 year old to sit and read to me for a few minutes, I noticed the wisteria scent in my backyard.
When I commented to my daughter, her reply was “and the mornings smell really good!”
In that moment, I realized that I should spend more time with my 6 year old so she can keep reminding me of all those cool things that I just don’t take the time for.

Hey there, my Queen! Just want you to hear the sound of applause…Clap..Clap,Clap, Clap, Clap - you’re doing great with your blooging every day for 30 days challenge!
You always have a beautiful garden, I know that’s one of your favorite hobbies, and it looks fantastic.
Carissa is 6! See how fast time goes. And I have to agree with her, she has a distinct view of the world, just soak it all up, remember “the child is father to the man.” How is it that they know so much, and we’ve forgotten what that view of the world was. So glad you have the chance to re-visit that with Carissa!
Take good care! - Steve

Steve,
Thanks for your unending support! But I have to admit–that is NOT a picture of my garden. It is a snapshot that my daughter took a few weeks ago at Temple Square in Downtown SLC. But it IS beautiful!
