I didn’t get to post my out the door picture today. Here is me and the Mrs. getting ready to go out to an indoor concert. Definitely one of my go to styles for that type of event.

Welcome to the "Dog Days of Summer"! For a lot of people it can put people in a sour mood. It's too hot, it's too hot to do this or that. Tempers get a bit flared. The same can happen in the winter to people as well. I just thought I'd share my personal journey through these types of days. I just left my primary care physician for my 3 month look over with Blood work, weight etc. All came out great. That isn't the point of this post. My doctor asked me a question: What else is going on in your life that you might want to discuss? I responded, I am Truly Blessed. So if my blood work and all of the things that pertain to my health (other than Mental) are in good shape, I am Perfect! He then said I love your attitude! He asked if I had a secret? I told him Every morning and every night, and sporadically throughout the day I stop and take a mental look around and count my blessings! I have my health, I have my family and their health, I have a roof over my head and I am able to feed myself and my family. What more do I need? This is what I consider "Smelling the roses". There will always be someone with "More" there will always be someone with "Less". But I am content! I still have an amazing drive to work and lead and guide my people everyday, but I am also content where my life has taken me and blessed to be around everyone in my daily life. So today's outfit is for smelling the roses!! Wishing you all a wonderful "Rose Smelling" Day!!
