Recently I spent a few days in Maryland, celebrating a
birthday and getting away from the usual hum drum of ordinary life.

After a few days of endless eating and conversations, I
decided to take a brief walk around the house I was staying in the early fall
morning.
One of the treats of aging is you take the time to do the
things you missed as a younger person. Every morning of my life I would dress,
eat breakfast and rush out to my car for work and as they say never stopped to
smell either the coffee or the roses! So this particular morning, I took a cup
of hot cocoa and took a walk around the property surveying the different plants
and trees, the residuals of Summer time gardens and the vestiges of the hard work
to grow vegetables and special plants.
When I stepped outside the first time, I took in the
coolness and color, plus the smells that sang together the hymn of Autumn, the
celebration of the harvest and the joy of the holidays coming in the next month
and a half.
Taking time to smell the forestry perfume, the sun radiant
and the trees colored to the great artist’ command, you can’t help the feeling
of inner joy, the true joy of being alive.
I think everyone should stop just once at least, take a cup
of coffee or hot cocoa, and just stroll a little bit outside and enjoy the
wonderful symphony of outdoor life, and celebrate your being in the midst of
it: looking, smelling and closely listening to Mother Nature.
Life can be good, if only momentarily.
