Stopping to Smell the Roses

Time is going by swiftly, but I am taking time to do all the things that I love. It is amazing how naturally this still makes me feel guilty. I am noticing my own patterns and making efforts to change my old habits. I have been able to spend a lot of time in my hometown I am finding it grounding, and it is making me realize how much I am growing. The most important thing I have accomplished is getting a good night's sleep. I also can read a book in a week. So, this week I am going to two book signings in my hometown for some more summertime reading. I also am interested in meeting them, and hearing them speak. I still need to schedule a lot each week, to keep me happy. The roses in this picture was taken at The Art on The Porch walk. Such a lovely event which was free and no reservations needed. To see the gardens and the artwork made for an outstanding day.
