Smell the roses

Today was an extra "rest" day as I was in charge of the kids, if that's possible.  I also had a funeral to attend and although these are usually sad occasions, this was a celebration of a colourful and successful life in all ways.  A fiddle orchestra played at the service and I've never tapped my feet before at a funeral or wanted to clap - that's the way to go, have a shindig!  But it also made me realise that we should enjoy every day and take time to smell the roses.  So when the hailstones are smashing into your face and your feet are like blocks of ice on the bike, just be grateful you are fit enough to be taking part in life.  Enjoy every moment.
