Often times we’re so busy working, thinking about what we still have to get done today, tonight, this week or next year, that we don’t realise what’s going on around us. In the doing-ness of it all we forget to be present and appreciate the very moment that we’re in. A healthy life is all about balance. Just as it’s important to stay motivated and productive and get things done,  it’s also vital that we stop to ‘smell the roses’, lift our heads and look around. Today I took some time out in the Fitzroy Gardens to do just that and, taking a different path was presented with a treasure trove of beautiful Camellia blooms. All shapes and sizes and an array of colours brightened my morning and reminded me of the cherished times I spent with my grandmother in the Dandenongs. The flowers and the memory brightened my day and made me feel a whole lot happier. So stop for a moment, lift your head, and look around. Forget about the future, just listen to the sounds and be in this moment right now.
