It was getting late. The kids were hungry and I was working as fast as I could to get things ready for them. The only problem was everything I was doing wasn’t working. My final straw was when our brand new grill wouldn’t start. I was ready to throw myself on the ground and cry when I kept smelling this sweet smell. Being that I was in the middle of my tantrum I was getting so upset that something so sweet and beautiful was trying to interupt my tangent!
I was walking the food from the grill INTO the house uncooked when I thought, you know what? I am going to STOP and go smell the roses. Right NOW. So I did. I gave the kids a snack to hold them over, grabbed my camera and went in search of the sweet smell.
As I was walking, two little bunnies hopped out of the woods and ran across the lawn. Cute little bunnies, seriously, how can one stay so upset with cute little bunnies that make you smile.
I found the sweet flowers at the edge of the woods and had a peaceful moment. Relishing in the fact that so much beauty was just a few steps from my backyard.
There it ended. My tantrum was gone. And all because of that sweet smell.
