Stop and smell the roses
Whenever I get an invite for a wedding, I reply but I also include the simplest wedding advice. "Stop and smell the roses"
A girl dreams of her wedding day for so long and wants it to be perfect. Of course just finding the perfect man is the hard part, but once you fall in love with him, all you can picture is what life will be like as his wife. You start to imagine all the details you dreamed of as a girl. It takes a lot of work and even more money to pull off the perfect wedding. An hopefully, it is not perfect. Something is bound to go wrong but hopefully it is only a minor problem... like the limo driver gets pulled over at Logan Airport as he is dropping you off for your flight to Aruba for honeymoon. True story...
But I always send this message on the reply card because brides are so caught up in the details, that they don't stop to take it all in. They are too focused on the details that they don't catch their grandmother whispering to her son how proud she is of his daughter and how he raised such a beautiful girl. The actual wedding itself goes by too quickly. DO YOU.... take him? DO YOU ...take her? I now declare you husband and wife.
That one moment....
Capture that moment in your heart and in your head.... and stop and smell the roses

Bump in the Road
There are days that we have bumps in the road and have to pull ourselves together just to get through it. The problems always seem so overwhelming and get us very upset that we can feel our blood pressure rise and every little thing seems to tick us off. We feel the pressure and pain of life and feel like we are the only one who has to go through days like this. Well it's not true. We all have been there and have seen the darkest days to know that sunshine comes out after storms. Gary Allen, "Every Storm Runs out of Rain".
And as bad as things are... there are people that are worst off and going through more of lifes trials and tribulations. Take a moment to de-stress and full deep breathe through your nose and breathe out the stress and anguish of whatever part of life is making you struggle right now.
My thoughts are hoping you get through whatever it is.... God Bless
