Between the Orchids

To “stop and smell the flowers” means to slow down, ease your quickening pace running through life and enjoy what it has to offer. Relish in the fruits of your labor and frolic in the fields you pass on your journey instead of seeing blurs of color in the corner of your eyes. When you stop, you not only find solace, peace, fulfillment. Your mind can also have a moment to enjoy the beauty life gives, the beauty of observing the tiny details.

“When was the last time you stopped to smell a flower? Maybe the next time you do, a friend will be waiting to say hi!”
