Stop and Smell the Roses...
So, today my boyfriend and I decided to take a mini road trip down to Solvang, California. The second we drove up, I felt like we were in a fairytale. The buildings are so unique, each a different color from the rest and the best part of this town is - you can bike the whole town in less than 30 minutes!
It was the perfect getaway from Los Angeles. No traffic, no schedule, just the day and a new town to explore. While we biked through the town (which turned more into walking because we stopped so much to take pictures) we came across an open grassy field lined with a grey picket fence and red roses... and with that, I could not think of a better first post - "Stop and Smell the Roses".
In our case, it was literal, but in your day to day lives I just want to give you a simple reminder to take a step back from your busy schedules and appreciate how wonderful life truly is. There is always going to be bumps in the road, but just remember that we can either complain that roses have thorns or we can rejoice that the thorns have roses.
Hope you guys are having a wonderful weekend.
Thanks for reading!
