or maybe the aspens.  This summer has gone by entirely to fast.  Why does it seem each summer seems to go by fast then the last?  I personally  didn’t stop and smell the roses much this summer.  And I think it really affected me.  When I slow down and really pay attention I feel stronger, happier, and more alive.  But like anyone I forget and get caught up in the everyday things.  Well today I say let’s not just exist, but really live!  Take time to stop and smell the roses.  Look at something with a totally different eye.  And take it ALL in.  Here’s to a beautiful fall to a year filled with surprises!
