Pleasure In Simple Things

Slow down, take pleasure on the simple things of life, heal your soul from the wounds caused by the fast pace of society

Goose - Putting on the Brakes

 Always remember to slow down in life; live, breathe, and learn; take a look around you whenever you have time and never forget everything and every person that has the least place within your heart. 
~Unknown

Taking it Slow

Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance toward the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point. Climb slowly, steadily, enjoying each passing moment; and the view from the summit will serve as a fitting climax for the journey.- Harold B. Melchart

Looking Closely

“Take time to see the quiet miracles 

that seek no attention” 

 ― John O'Donohue

Looking closely requires us to slow down.

You cannot view something and take in all of its details, while hurrying past.

Abbott Lake at Peaks of Otter

During one of our StayCations - Hubby and I visited another spot on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
The Peaks of Otter. This is take from Abbott Lake looking toward Sharp Top Mountain - elevation 3862 ft.
More info on Peaks of Otter: HERE

There is a one mile hiking trail around the Lake.

A view from the hiking trail.

At the end of the trail, a wonderful bench to
sit on and take in all of the beauty.

Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by  going to fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.
~ Eddie Cantor

A Sense of Ease

 Patience requires a slowing down, a spaciousness, a sense of ease.
