smelling the roses simply means to slow down and enjoy little mundane things in life which we have missed and distracted by our incessant quest to make money and make more money, expand our business and expand further our business.
we have to slow down, stop....take a seat, sip a tea, eat a pow and poon pee pee to enoy what we possess. little things that we ve overlooked suddenly appear to be very pleasing. it is a realisation that we have taken many things for granted. we have to slow down, take a breather and "smell the roses" to bring us back to our senses of being a human and not a money making machine like the paps.
