This morning on my way to work I noticed that the trees had started changing colors, and I thought, “When did that happen?” Then I got to wondering about what else I might have missed lately–how many things have happened when I wasn’t paying attention?

When you’re a kid, time is unbearably slow. And then suddenly…it isn’t anymore. Days, weeks, months fly by and all of a sudden it’s my favorite season again and I haven’t even noticed. Well, that’s not entirely true. I noticed the Halloween decorations were out at Target the other day. Clearly I’m spending too much time at Target and not nearly enough time outside looking at leaves. Goal for the weekend: look at leaves and whatever else is around that I haven’t been noticing lately.

I really hope I realize I’ve been not noticing a large pile of money in the corner of the living room. It’s more likely that I’ll realize I’ve been not noticing a large pile of dog poop in the corner of the living room. On second thought, maybe I’ll stick with the not noticing.
