It's a bit ironic since during our younger ages - we try to earn that degree, save up for that big house, buy that fancy car, or strive for that senior work position; and when we reach an age where we appreciate life, we only find all of these things are materialistic objects without substance. Granted, these are some areas in life that one requires to live comfortably, but when we slow down for a bit; the question of what one really wants to achieve in life pops up in my mind. Aside from all these material aspects, what do we really want to accomplish in life so that it will carry on towards the end of time...? Mmmm... Just a thought...

Tis' a cold autumns' night....
Leaves fall and rides on a cool autumn's breeze as another eventful year wraps up around the corner. Was out raking some leaves and really enjoy the surroundings... Time flies and it is always good for one to slow down, take a step backwards to reflect and savor the things and people around us.

Very true. We never realize that happiness is in those that people call Trivial.
Wer r u buddy?
Wisdom of the years distills our thoughts and lays bare that which should be important. To pause and savour often comes from growing up.
