> As we find oursevles already halfway through the year, things are becoming busier and busier. It is important to remember to stop and smell the roses.. or azaleas. Whichever you prefer. I observed some people sitting by the lake at the local park recently and felt slight envy at the simplistic nature of their schedule that day. There I was hauling speakers and DJ equipment in 90°F heat, living a completely different life. Perhaps the observance of my fellow human beings, is in itself, an act of stopping to smell the roses.
