And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.

I was mindful of "TIME", while sitting in my back yard enjoying the beauty of my gardens. I thought to myself, "Is it just me or is time out of control?" Saddened, knowing time is limited for my flowers,as leaves change and fall around me. How quickly My favorite seasons pass. Gardening is my passion not a chore and September seems to be filled with chores as the inevitable winter approaches. The list of chores, barren trees and brown gardens filled my mind . A Monarch butterfly landed near me and snapped me out of the doom and gloom I was feeling. Then a yellow swallow tail and two white little ones joined the dance. Butterflies have a way of making me feel like a child. So I wondered "Why as a child did the days and seasons and years seem longer?" Because, TODAY was all that concerned me. Being present in the beauty of the moment seems to make those moments longer. Children have to be reminded of chores, they don't scrutinize over them. As My husband Yells for my assistance for a winterizing chore. I'll make sure to enjoy the flowers while I help him!

This was beautiful Tammy. And so very true. It's no wonder as adults we do all we can to be with little people and see the world (once again) through those eyes. They are mindful in nature... without even trying. Much love to you~
