trick or treat?

As Halloween quickly approaches, I am amazed at how its being pushed aside by Christmas. I ran to a store last night and was amazed by the competing holiday decorations.

I wish we wouldn't rush things so much. We need to savor the days, as I am getting older, am realizing that my days are whizzing by in an insane blur that frightens me. I find myself getting up earlier in the day, just to have a few more precious minutes.

This morning, I walked around my house, looked at my Autumn decorations, tweaked the occasional pumpkin or three and enjoyed it being October. As much as I love Christmas, I am just not ready for that time of the year yet.

I just wish things would just slow down a bit.
