Left office yesterday at 11:00 am for early lunch. The only thing is that I did not eat lunch but went to walk the 1 mile walking path in a park ten minutes from my place of work. I actually walked the path twice yesterday before severe thunderstorms rolled in. (I loved it! From February to April of this year I use to walk the path five days a week for a full hour. Just doing this during the workday helped me to make it through the day. Unfortunately the raining season started.)
I loved getting out of the air conditioned cubical that I call my space for eight hours a day. I loved watching the birds and squirrels. Hearing the children on the playground of a near by school laughing. I laughed when the ducks started to follow me as I told them sorry no bread today. The flowering trees have already started to go into hibernation for the fall and very little blossoms left on the trees.
Everything goes through cycles including us. The first official day of Autumn will begin next week, but if you look closely at nature it has already started. This time of year heralds the coming of Halloween for some and Fall Harvest for others. (I don't give out candy to the kids in neighborhood any longer instead I give them coupon books for Frosty at Wendy's instead. This way they get a treat and I save them from going to the dentist later.)
Remember to stop and smell the roses today. Enjoy the abundance of nature and the miracles that surround us daily. We barely pay attention too the greatest gift of all and it cost you nothing. Be a kid today kick off your shoes and walk through the grass bare foot for a few minutes. Just one little thing in the big scheme of things.
