I was in a very long, very slow bank line today and the woman standing in front of me was fidgeting restlessly back and forth. She finally stepped out of line and went to find a manager to see if she could expedite the line. She came back with a smile on her face and said, "sometimes you just have to complain to get something done". I replied "Oh, I'm in no rush". She looked at me with a puzzled look and said "And why is that"? I explained to her, It is my belief that the universe is out to support my happiness and if I have to wait in a long line, then maybe I needed to slow down for a moment. She laughed and said," well that seems like a much better outlook on life, I should try that some time".
Afterwards, I went to pick the girls up from school and when my youngest wanted to stop and smell the flowers, I told her I thought that was a fine idea and we should all take the time to stop and smell the flowers (even though I knew tulips weren't scented). She would have never know that unless I let her smell them for herself.
About the photo: I shot this with my point & shoot Sony Cyber-shot.
Soft blur on foliage using Onone focal point.
