"'Roses' is about slowing down and taking the time to appreciate the good things in life, or metaphorically, to stop and smell the roses. This may sound like such a small thing, but it’s actually so important. If you don’t appreciate the blessings you’ve been given and focus only on the negative things that happen in your life, it can lead you to very dark places. It makes a world of difference to stop and smell the roses and learn to find the hope in every situation." - Matthew Parker
