Everyday people walk and drive to and fro but pay no attention to their surroundings.  Most people concerned about where they are going, will they get there on time, are they cooler than the those in the cars next to them. 


The trees are turning brown and the leaves are falling; oh it is fall – it is raining, oh that is so bad, I hate rain – many people say.  Many people complain about the rain; the skies are gray and dull; oh “I want summer” but then during summer they complain about how hot it is and the sunburn – Are they ever happy?


A well known saying ‘Stop And Smell The Roses’ can be taken literally or figuratively; I also say Have you ever noticed the clouds?  When you look up to the sky at the clouds and really take the time to take them in, you will notice that they are always changing.  They create various shapes and colors of light in the sky, like a painting in process.  To those who fly commercial flights often, if you pay attention you will notice how they also change shapes but sometimes seem to be standing still – another style of painting and oh so pretty.


My reason for this writing is just to say to my friends – In the daily chaos of our busy lives I wish for you to not only ‘Stop And Smell The Roses’, but, I hope that you can look up and see the Beauty Of The Clouds!
