Slow down, take it all in.

It’s so easy to get caught up in the day to day grind and then miss the changes in nature that are happening all around us. It happens all the time- where did summer go? when did it get so cold? why is it dark so soon? In the past I’ve been guilty of going weeks from home to office and back home again long after the sun has set, barely stepping outside to take it all in and absorb the subtle or even obvious changes around me. Not this year. I’ve reclaimed more of my time and am enjoying every minute of it. Last weekend was an adventure in pumpkin hunting. Before that was the arts festival. Tonight I thoroughly enjoyed watching a beautiful October moon rise over the changing foliage.

Are you taking time to enjoy and take it in?
