There is a time to work hard and a time to rest & relax. Thankfully, I'm currently on vacation -- road trip from Boston to Acadia National Park in Maine, then to New Hampshire and Vermont to see the White Mountain and Green Mountain National Forests.

I love nature. I enjoy meandering through trails along rivers and waterfalls because the sound of flowing water is incredibly relaxing. I love watching the sunrise and sunset, symbolizing the beginning and ending of the day. I also love seeing the many different shades of yellow, orange, and red leaves, which signifies the start of my favorite time of year: Fall! These are things I don't pay attention to in my everyday busy life, and I wish I could capture it all but pictures really don't do justice to the beauty of my surroundings. The best way to describe my feelings is in the song "How Great Thou Art."

This Fall, wherever you are, remember to take a little time to enjoy what's around you. I'm sure it won't be hard to do!
