Stop and smell the flowers!
Madison has been sick lately with a sore throat and fever (according to the expert Italians it was too much PISCINA - swimming pool over the weekend) I am a believe in germs and bacteria as opposed to weather conditions causing fevers and other ailments. That is neither here nor there for this discussion. I decided to stay home with him while he was sick, normally he stays with his grandmother when he is sick and mamma has to go to work, but I have just been enlightened to the fact that mothers of children under 3 have the right to take off work to stay with their children. Didn't know this, but now I do. Anyway, since anyone who have ever met my child knows that it is virtually impossible to keep him inside all day even with a high fever, we decided to take the 2 second walk down the street to the coffee bar and get a popsicle for his ailing throat. As we were walking he noticed this large gelsomino bush growing near the sidewalk. He stopped (literally) to smell the flowers and it made me think how the most of us are so wrapped up in the crappy details of our lives that we don't stop and realize the important things that are all around us. I have been feeling down lately, but the "maudlin" phase is over - I decided! I refuse to waste even one day feeling down when all around me there are wonderful things to do and see. I have also discovered that there is a new machine that cures allergies with light therapy. Basically you stick these two nodes in your nostrils and a light comes on a does something so you don't suffer from allergies anymore. I am really interested in purchasing this product. If anyone has tried something like this please let me know before I go "spending the big bucks".
