Stop & Smell The Roses

Hey Mister
Where you going in such a hurry
Don't you think it's time you realized
There's a whole lot more to life than work and worry.

The sweetest things in life are free
And there right before your eyes
You got to Stop and Smell the roses.

 
This weekend…, why don’t you have breakfast in bed, wear that dress which you’ve been saving for a special occasion, browse through old pictures and go down memory lane, re-read your favourite romantic novel, get your hair done, pamper yourself…

…Or just stop and smell the roses.

Wishing you all a relaxing weekend!

Hi Persis,

Love the photo of the sweet girl riding the bicycle.
Yes, it is the weekend here and so looking forward to not doing very much and yes, I will take time to smell the roses.

Hope you have a beautiful weekend, dear friend
Hugs
Carolyn

i really enjoy the design of your entire site, it is so creative and cute! and the layout for this post is great too, i especially like the gold dress. i just love that you incorporated the text with the image, and also music with fashion.

Wise words indeed! I keep trying to give myself time off - did it this weekend and it worked - had a nap in the middle of the day! Lou x

Hey Persis,
Yup the sweetest things in life are free...n for everything else, husband hain na;-)
Anything that money can buy anyways gives u a momentary joy...
Anything that money can’t buy anyways gives u a lifelong craving for it even after having dollops of it:-)

Have a great weekend too:-)

hello lovely,
I absolutely agree!!!! And, I love all the images. They make me feel pretty even though I'm wrapped in a blanket, wearing a scarf and drinking tea… heehee. I recently posted about returning from 3 months to a ruined floor and just having to LAUGH about it!

have a wonderful week! *a
