The Rush Is On....

Am I the only one who feels like the rush is on already? Fall often times seems so frenetic, especially as it gets closer and closer to the holidays. This one seems especially so. I think part of it is just being really busy at work with my classes, research, and service responsibilities; then you add upcoming conferences, a birthday party for our 2 year old to plan, the house that never stays tidy, holiday travels, etc. and the list goes on and on....with the result being time flies by way too fast!

Fall is my favorite time of the year; I think I just have to slow down and realize that everything that is important will eventually get done and the rest of the things -- well, maybe they didn't really need doing anyway : ). So, if you're at our house anytime soon and you see a mess, you'll know why : ).

Do you have specific ways that you try to slow time down, enjoy the moments, etc.?

Here's to remembering to breathe and enjoying the moments as they go by way too fast. . .

Depending on how our bank account is looking, once a month I go and get a pedicure. It's something I really enjoy doing and it's quiet and relaxing. It lasts an hour and it gives me time to slow down and think.

I use the person you told me about Taylor, and I agree it is relaxing! I only get to go once every few months or so, but I really enjoy it when I do get to go!
