Catch Me If You Can

It's funny as you get older, the things around you go faster. For me this seems to be the fastest moving summer I've ever experienced. And to me the strangest part is that I'm not quite sure why. Maybe you are asking why? I know I am, because it's not like this has been a summer where there's lots of exciting stuff going on. I mean I've done the usual little stuff like barbeque on July 4th and go to the beach. Maybe it's going faster because it's the first summer in a long time, if ever, that I've really appreciated the little things. Perhaps you are asking what these little things are? Things like stopping to smell the flowers, or watching the sailboats. Or watching the waves crash against the shore. Or taking a nap outside on a bench during your lunch hour. And don't forget spending a lunch hour watching the clouds move and trying to see what kinda funny shapes they form. There's nothing quite like finding a dragon in the sky to make your day. Perhaps suddenly appreciating the little things like that is what has been making my summer move so much faster.
