Stop and Smell The Roses  Sitting in mo.mmy dearest's(MD'S) ICU room, it was quiet, and I was thankful for being able to see raindrops, as they trickled down the window. I could hear her sleeping peacefully. I wasn't panicking, and yet this was such an intense situation. It felt as if I had become wiser with every hundred miles I had traversed to get here. Tim said for me to "Stop and smell the Roses". It seemed even he was hanging about, because outside her room was a rose bush in full bloom. I asked the nurse about it and she said, it was a special rose that bloomed in Autumn. Walking out for a break, I had to stop and smell those roses. That gave me some comfort and I smiled in grateful appreciation. And, as I sat on the pretty bench, in the million dollar atrium full of roses, I had a good cleansing cry for a few moments. When I stopped, I swore I could feel his hand on my back as he had always done to soothe me. For the first time in a while, I felt his calm settle over me, like a warm blanket out of the dryer that smells amazingly clean. As far as MD, there are layers of issues I am having to unravel and find solutions for while hopefully answering my own. One day, as she tried to manipulate to get her way and be released early, I had to admit Tim was right when he said I was made from the same mold as her. I also recognized that he was right, he said I had "two ears for listening and one mouth to speak for a reason. I'm learning to listen, and only open my mouth when I think over what I am going to say.. I left my MD at the hospital when she became able to walk and was on the mend. I had to get back and couldn't wait to land in Colorado. Quarantined a few days, until I could take a COVID test and get negative results back. The day I got them back, I was scheduled to work in the salon to make up for time lost... But do we ever make up for lost time? Not really. All we can do is live today, and be here now. And, most of all, take time to smell the roses  Stop and Smell The Roses Playlist I Never Promised You a Rose Garden - Lynn Anderson English Rose - The Jam Canadian Rose - Blues Traveler Kiss From A Rose - Seal Cracklin' Rosie - Neil Diamond The Last Living Rose - PJ Harvey Carolina Rose - Gloriana La Vie En Rose - Edith Piaf Weed Instead of Roses - Ashley Monroe A Rose Is Still A Rose - Aretha Franklin |

I loved the deep introspection......we get caught up in the "what ifs" and forget to just be who we are deep inside.
