Shhhh... Can you hear that?

As I was walking the pups this morning, it was exceptionally quiet outside. There were no cars, no garbagemen, no school buses yet.

The lawn was still wet with dew. The moon was still visible and the sun was still rising. You could hear the birds chirping in the distance... It was still a little chilly, but there was a promise of warmer weather to come later in the day.

I wonder how many mornings I missed these same occurrences? When was the last time you witnessed the serenity of a Fall morning??

Life is way too short, and we only get one shot at it. This morning I had a wake-up call to stop and enjoy all the beauty that surrounds me. I hope this serves as a reminder to you, too.
