We awaken to the smell of freshly brewed coffee and our senses begin to come alive.  We walk outside in the cold winter morning and smell the soothing scent of a fire in a fireplace. We walk in to the bakery and smell the fresh cinnamon rolls just as they come out of the oven.

When we become more aware of all our senses, we begin to realize how wonderful our life truly is. We touch the soft skin of a baby and our heart is warmed. We hear soft mellow voice of a stranger say ‘good morning’. We taste the creamy chocolate morsel and a sense of pleasure washes over us. We see a stranger hold the door open as we walk out, our hands filled with packages and we feel gratitude.

Awaken our senses and life takes on a new meaning. We can stop the hustle and bustle of life and simply enjoy the moment when we become aware of our senses. For this moment will not come again as it is right now and if we don’t stop and ‘smell the roses’ they will be withered and gone.

Enjoy life today and allow your senses to bring new joy.
