'It's always good to take time out to smell the roses'. This is a familiar American saying which means take a break and go out and see things that give life meanings.

This morning I managed to watch a rerun about a talk by Imam Muneer Abd Rasheed, from Philadelphia, NY titled Take Time Out in TV AlHijrah . He mentioned about how important it is for us to take time out and go out  to appreciate all the things that Allah has been providing us. Go out and see the beautiful trees in the gardens and animals that roam freely in the surrounding areas or birds flying high up in the air.

We often tend to rush to and fro to work, sending children to schools, doing chores or trying very hard to keep up with datelines that we forgot to take time out once in a while to appreciate what is around us besides the robots and machines readily available within our reach. We are so focus into getting more and more money that sometimes we forgot that we had actually have enough money already. When we focus too much in getting too much money than we actually need, we tend to stress more.

So,take time out and smell the roses. View a beautiful painting, share  a good laugh with friends that will make you feel good. InsyaAllah.
