Stopping to smell the roses

I never wrote a blog from my Blackberry before but here goes it now. I am babysitting my grandson,who is happily watching Max + Ruby on T.V.I have been so busy lately. I have been working longer hours and spending most of my weekends catching up on all of the other things that seem to always need to get done. Seasons have a way of silently slipping away...Summer already gone. It was quick, that's for certain. I realized today that the close of 2008 is right around the corner. That's when I took a deep breath and told myself to slow down and look around. The glory of the season of Now is right here and I am rushing through it. Where am I going so fast?I am hearing myself say, I will do this or that when I have more time for myself. I don't want to get caught up in that trap again. All any of us really have is Now. So...I am taking some time to look around. Some time to feel the vibrant colors of the season touch my soul. Some time to sleep an extra 15 minutes.have a second cup of coffee,smell the roses. Fill myself up first so that I have something of myself to give with Love.
