Smelling Roses

This past week's bible study topic was
SLOW DOWN AND CELEBRATE

We have a disease.
It's called "Hurry".
We are always hurrying everywhere, all the time.
If you are a person, when approaching a red traffic light with one car already in each lane, you try to judge which car will be faster based on make, model and year of both cars...
you might be infected with Hurry Disease.

Apparently I am.
Experience has taught me not to underestimate the speed of UPS trucks.
What is the point of being so rush?
Why cause yourself anxiety?
Over a few minutes.

Take time to smell the roses.


God commands JOY!
Rejoice always.
Why waste a few minutes fuming over a telemarketer interrupting dinner?
Sing.
Dance.
Be silly.

I decided to take pictures of things that made me smile.
AT THE MALL

these top shoes are covered in faux fur.
why? i have no idea. do people enjoy petting their feet?
some of us just aren't blessed with feet hairy enough to warrant petting.

squiggle shoes!
in all colors.

banana runts were my favorite.
back when i truly enjoyed eating pure sugar + artificial flavoring.

AT WORK
Sbux Cupyard. Vinyl Toys. Pet Rock (she's happy today).

RANDOM
My Iron Man. Salad(/ hand-washed clothes) Spinner. Pork BBQ Skewer.

Challenge:
For every one thing you complain about,
think of 3 things you are thankful for.
Good Luck!
