life inspiration ~ remember to slow down


"Slow down and enjoy life.  It's not only the scenery 
you miss by going too fast - you also
 miss the sense of where you are going and why."
                                              
                                         - eddie cantor, artist and humanitarian

where are you headed today?
what is the ultimate goal?
and are you paying attention to the beauty that surrounds you?


these are the things i'll be considering today as i:
- run errands,
- catch up with loved ones,
- and let the mister cut my hair
{the ultimate test of trust in a relationship}.

    "the sense of where you are going and why" ~ it is always the sweet and adventurous longing to discover and take steps towards this. :)

    yay! goodluck with the haircut! ;) excited to see it! for sure it'll be cut out of love *wink* :D

    haha, have fun with the new haircut! I think it'd be fun to have Noah try but I bet he'd be freaking out. :)

    What a very true thought Kim. It's important to slow down and enjoy our time in life. Our society often pushes us to rush through everything but we need to take time to relish everything. I'll keep it in mind as I go throughout the day. Maybe it's time for another evening trip to the farm market....

    Great reminder! I'm definitely trying to take time to appreciate all of this beautiful weather we've been having. We sat out on our deck and drank Skinnygirl Margaritas last night after work! It was wonderful.

    Can't wait to see the haircut :)

    Ahh! best of luck letting your lovely husband cut your hair! I'm sure he'll pass with flying colors. I'm still sending good vibes your way, just in case ;). I suppose I could do a much better job at appreciating the beauty around me. I've got a free drink ticket from Starbucks that I'll have to put to some use today and sit outside, soaking it all in. :)

    Sometimes I am so focused on the ultimate goal that I forget to pay attention to the beauty of the moment. I think I'll make this my ultimate goal today! :)

    Can't wait to hear (read) how the haircut goes! I had a boyfriend cut my hair years ago. He was an engineer, and somehow it worked out very well. Engineers are very precise! hahaha!

    I don't think IC would ever cut my hair. To be honest, I think it scares him a little.

    Wow, that really was inspiring. I often forget to slow down, I'm always so anxious to get to the next step.

    And that definitely is the ultimate test in trust!
