Stop & Smell The Roses
Thursday, August 31st, 2006
Too often it’s easy to keep ourselves so busy running from place to place, event to event and crisis to crisis that we forget to take a timeout from everyday life. This past weekend I had the chance to attend a wedding of one my Pledge Brothers from my fraternity. It took place at Snowbird a local ski resort about 12 miles up Little Cottonwood Canyon. But even those 12 miles make all the difference in the world.
If it hasn’t already loaded in a few seconds a picture of the scenery surrounding snowbird will appear. I had forgotten how much I miss the smell of the trees, the sounds of the birds in the trees and the mountain air that is free from the smell of burnt gasoline(and at least 20 degrees cooler than the valley). Take a few minutes look at the picture, let them take you back to a similar place, and post your thoughts or describe your memories in the comments.
