Taking the time

Taking the time to walk around downtown is something I enjoy doing everyday. Mostly this comes when I make my 5 a.m. trek down to the gym, but I also really enjoy walking downtown on Sunday mornings. For the last two weeks I've walked around downtown, heading to Goodwill. Along the way, I take time to notice things. I find that each time I make the trip, I see something new. I focus to see the beauty of being downtown early on a Sunday morning. Doing something like this every week makes me feel just a little bit more satisfied in life, knowing I take the time to acknowledge all the great buildings and people that surround me. After feeling all good just looking around, I make my contribution to the community by donating money to Goodwill. Then I start all over again by walking home. I know this isn't something amazingly entertaining, yet, I find this really adds to my life. What have you done in the last few days that you were really proud of? What have you done in the last few days which makes you feel you've made a difference? What have you done in the last few days which made you appreciate all the amazing things that surround you each and every day? Just thought I'd give you something to think about while your busy "living your life"...

Skyler,
You remind me of all the great little things about our community. I used to think it would be great to retire to another area out side of Petaluma & California but, the more places i visit the more I like our town! I do enjoy (donating) giving money to some orginations but... I must say I do not enjoy getting the zillions of phone calls from Orginizations asking for money! I like your idea of keep the donation local and to a grat cause as Goodwill Industries.

P.S. Wouldn't you rather want to be like your Mom?
