During a busy Saturday, it was easy to rush from one activity to another. Don't get me wrong. I had a great day with lots of fun but it was non-stop go, go, go.
On the way home, I swung my car into a parking lot near a lake and stopped. A boat rumbled across the water, pulling some children on a kind of raft.
Clouds slowly danced across a blue sky and all the little waves and ripples in the water sparkled with sunlight.
Sometimes we just need to stop what we are doing, and "be" rather than "do."
DO YOU TAKE TIME TO APPRECIATE NATURE'S GIFTS?

Slow down and smell the roses, comes to mind. We all live in such a rushing state of being. water has sucha calming affect, doesn't it?
Well said Susan! Let's take some time to just simply relax and take the world in.
I do love the moments when I can just be. They don't come around often enough with back to school but I manage to find them in every day. :) Blessings to you and yours, Tammy
I say Amen to that, Susan! Love seeing your hills. None where I am. Did stop by the Lake today though for a peaceful moment or two. Joyce
The water looks wonderfully inviting.
Madeleine L'Engle has a whole book built around just BEING...have you read her? Hard to just BE, but worth the practice!
I love to look at the sunsets, rain falling slowly down and the wind blowing a soft breeze. Today was a lovely Sunday where I live...just perfect for nature watching.
