Stop to smell the roses

I think many people are on the go from the time they get up till the time they go to bed. People often forget to set aside some quiet time, every day. Quiet time is a kind of battery recharge for your soul. I find a great time to do this is 5:00 AM, before the family gets up, grab a cup of coffee or tea, when the house is absolutely silent and peaceful. You can use the time to reflect on work, family, or simply enjoy the quiet.

Another way to get some quiet time is to take a daily walk or jog, find a secluded place in a local community park, and stop and smell the roses. No walkmans and cell phones allowed. I'm sure, if everyone took some time out of their busy day, this world may be a lot less stressful.
