not often enough

There's something about the seasons changing that makes you want to take a step back.
Take a step, take a second, look around you.

Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm just getting older and trying to be wiser but
I want to do things better,
I want to be better,
I want to do good things with this life I've been given. 

The past week and all that has happened over it has given me new eyes and
a glimpse of the life that I should be living,
not just the surface we skim the top of every day,
trying to get to the weekend, trying to get through the day,
trying to reach reach reach.
How often do I stop and choose to feel everything,
every moment,
through my body to the soles of my feet and breathe it in?
Not often enough.

I may have told you this before, but you have a way with words! Holy Cow...this post meant a lot to me. Thank you for the reminder. And yes..I definitely feel like that a lot of the time. And I truly WANT to be a better me!

I feel like I have thought all of those exact words before! I'm loving getting older and learning to appreciate the moments where I find myself thinking "this is it, this is life." Sometimes it's appreciating the good, sometimes it's appreciating the hard. But it's all life, and it's all great!
