Stopping to Smell the Flowers..........
#13
Like a lot of us, it has taken me a long time to slow down and enjoy doing things I like and want to do, instead of doing the things that I think I SHOULD do. I have even learned to say NO! when neccessary, and guess what, I am a lot more relaxed and am happier in myself

Oh I am the biggest busy body there is, always having several projects going on at the same time burning the candle at both ends. But the bucket list will be done before I go (I hope) and it is not too extravagant. I hope to be able to knock a couple of them off before the end of this year. I guess the main reason for it is that I am very goal driven and I always have to have something out there to achieve.
But it wasnt until last night that everything hit me and its like God opened my eyes for the first time.

Thank you for the important reminder, Billy. Hope all things work out for you. Sending prayers and thoughts of well-being and peace of mind to you. And most importantly, don't forget to "smell the flowers" along the way. <3

Everyday! Lifes to short to run right through it. Me and the honey have a 6pm date everyday. We go to the pond and feed the fish and just sit and watch them feed. Very little if any talking. After that we head to the wildflower patch to stop and admire the beauty. I do this often, sometimes 3 or 4 times a day. Or I'll go down and watch the cow in the field. We watch the sun set almost every evening. And we have been know to climb up on the roof and lay down and watch the sky for hours on end. If you like the sky scapes there's usually a couple of meteor showers a year. We are normally in PA during that time so we can get a better view, they have less light pollution. Good luck on your bucket list! Glad you had the chance to experience the joy of being alive, many do not.
