Take time to smell the flowers

Dogs are smarter than humans Cody sure knows how to relax and enjoy life. Each morning he will walk the perimeter of the yard stopping to smell the cherry tree, raspberry bush and then the flowers before his breakfast. He takes time to inspect their progress and waits patently for the crops to be harvested. Each morning a sniff here and there, waiting for Darrel or I to pick a cherry to two and share. Life is meant to have moments of reflection, patience and celebration. Cody lives this each day, showing me how to be a better person. It's moments like this when Cody stops to smell flowers on his walks, in the community garden or even on his back deck, that make you realize that we as humans have a lot learn from our best friends in the animal kingdom. Thank you Cody for showing me it's okay to stop and smell the roses/flowers every day!
