It seems we all come to this realisation at some stage, although often from different places.<br />RWP - ironically these rhododendrons that were growing in Queens Park, Invercargill, had no scent. But I love the detailed freckles and unusual colour combinations! <br />And you're right: we do only have X amount of energy. Better to use it enjoying and looking after ourselves first!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453125929159161583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-32327257234612747572012-03-20T01:17:17.677+13:002012-03-20T01:17:17.677+13:00Some flowers have no fragrance (orchids and tulips...Some flowers have no fragrance (orchids and tulips, for example) because all of their energy goes into looking beautiful and there is nothing left.

Thank you, both for this, and for your kind words there.<br /><br />Those flowers are so beautiful ... and those things at home can't be done while you're out anyway, can they?

Too often we are remembering or planning for the future, forgetting to truly live in the here and now which is where this moment is.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-56922006118726831292012-03-19T12:09:04.975+13:002012-03-19T12:09:04.975+13:00There's nothing like a good dose of being told...There's nothing like a good dose of being told that one's life is likely to draw to a premature close to make one realise how important the present is and that how much worrying about the future (or even worse, the past) detracts from the present and from life.
