I woke up wicked early the other day to watch the sunrise. I was also feeling a little artistic so I decided to take my camera with me. I've been living in the city for two months now and even though I love it here its always nice to escape from the constant and unavoidable motion. I've always thought of the city as a living entity all in itself and if you listen closely you can hear it breathing. As I was driving away from the city I noticed that everyone else was driving toward it. Everyone was starting their day by going to work and it made me feel good that I was starting mine simply by enjoying the sun rise. I was making my way to disappear into The Loch and it is there that I'm able to put my life on pause. Its refreshing to just stop for a moment and appreciate your surroundings. Time is so relative to your perspective, the last 30 minutes of your shift feels like two hours because you perceive it that way and so I've learned to apply this observation to other periods of time in my life.
You can live a lifetime in one moment. 
I truly believe this, you just have to slow down and take the time to absorb the things you'd normally ignore. Easier said than done, I know, its so easy to get sucked into the abyss of your life. Which is exactly why I make an effort to just stop and breathe every once in a while and why not enjoy something beautiful while I'm on pause. It was great and I really needed that time to just take it all in, everything, my entire life and how could I not feel great about everything that came to my mind in the midst of such a peaceful and beautiful place. I'm excited about whats ahead and I'm happy about where I am in my life right now. Everything is slowly falling into place and it just feels right to me. Its rare in my life but when things line up the right way its wonderful and I really try to just stop and bask in it. I'm basking. Cheers.

Pauses are definitely needed. We must stop and smell the roses every now and then..
