This post is a public service message, to pause what you are doing right now, to stop turning into what you are becoming as you go through what you are doing right now. Experience the extraordinary gift of the change of seasons. Perhaps go outside or open a window, look, smell, and feel what it means to be alive.

This particular view and the video are around the Washington Monument at the Washington Monument State Park, in Boonsboro, Maryland.

Right now there are thousands of people fleeing from their homes and communities due to war. We enjoy this moment and dedicate the happiness of this moment to those who are not feeling safe or secure right now.
