Another year older and so much to show for it. It’s easy to get caught up in the minutia of it all. Being so busy one second that you just want time to catch your breath, and then before you know it you’re lazing about wondering why you’re not doing more with your time. What I’ve found in my 37 years on this planet is that no matter what I’m doing I’ll always want to push myself a bit further. My life has had so many moments of profound meaning and serene beauty that make time stand still and linger a little longer. Those deep breathes of fresh air that wash over you and make you feel like your whole life has been leading to that moment and you belong to this place and time and always will. And just as quickly as it comes it slips away, receding into the annals of memory.

August is my favorite month of the year, and yes I may have some bias as a Leo, but I also love the solemn sadness of it. Summer is setting, the days start to feel noticeably shorter, the sun takes on a golden glow as it sets. The first color in the leaves starts to peak through, as autumn creeps into the air.

There is more summer ahead and I have much to look forward to still, but I wanted to take a moment and reflect on the last year and even more specifically the last month or so when these pictures were taken and express gratitude for making it another rotation around the sun. Happy Leo season and may 37 be another wonderful revolution through the cosmos.
