Stop and smell the flowers

Happy New Year!
After this crazy holiday season whizzing by like a lightning bolt, I am left tired and a bit frazzled. All I can think about is all the things that I need to do and should do in the new year. A good friend of ours invited us to dinner last night. She said, you guys relax, and I will cook dinner. Even though we were both feeling tired and a bit stressed with it only being midweek, we said sure. Dinner was amazing! We talked and we played with her kids. It was nice to slow down, take an evening and spend it with good company and not worry about the laundry and dishes and all of the pending things floating around in my head. I can't say enough for taking the time to cook and sitting at the table to eat it. Next time, we will return the favor and cook for her and the kids! One of the things that I know will do in the new year is stop and smell the flowers and enjoy the moments more often! I hope you do too, cheers!
