Fall is fast approaching. In fact, I believe it has arrived in a frenzy. It is cold and damp in the mornings... windy and cloudy in the evenings. Or, at least it was last night. It sounds like this weekend will be filled with the last rays of summer sunshine... be sure to take advantage while you can this weekend.
Time. It is moving way to fast these days. August blurred by without a backward glance or a wave goodbye. Fun as it was (climbing adventures around every corner!) it just went by too fast.
All of life is these days... is going by too fast, I mean. How do we hold on to the small moments and enjoy every second to its full? How are we to drink life's sweet nectar when we can't seem to slow down enough to wait for it to be poured into our glass half full?
I suppose it takes intentionality... as all the greatest things in life require. Intentionality to slow down. To relax. To invest in others. To invest in ourselves as well. Far to often we work hard to light the fire within others' lives but forget to spend the time working on ourselves.
Let September be a month of slow transition... and transformation. As the leaves turn brightly, may each of us change right alongside. Life is meant to be enjoyed... but I'm not so sure we can partake to the full if we are moving at the speed of light. Its time for a slow month for deliberation and intentionality.
Here we go. What a hope it brings.
