Smell the Flowers

Where did we get so fixated on this theme? Who was it that said we all work way too hard and we need to step back and take time to smell the flowers? I think that person over did it. It seems like that's all a lot of people know how to do anymore. They've forgotten the meaning of "work." And why would they want to work when there are flowers that need smelling? But there is work that needs doing. We can't all be smelling the flowers at the same time. We need rotations. Someone should work out a schedule. Or maybe that's why God gave us the weekend (sabbath). Our day of rest. Even He took a day off to sit back and relax, after He had finished His work. But since we are not perfect we can't finish our work. So we'll just have to do the best that we can to get as far as we can before taking our break. And while we are on our break we can smell all the flowers we want. I think guy who originally said this should have been more specific. Unless he was and his words were just twisted to fit other purposes as they were passed along. You know how it goes.
