As summer winds to an end, remember that it isn't over yet. There are still things that you can get out and do before the weather turns cool. Live by the motto, to make the most of every minute and make every minute count. I am trying to remind myself of the things, that I will be wishing I would have done this summer. Here are my top five on my list. Wake up early, go sit outside, drink coffee and watch the sunrise. Go to a lake, jump in and take a swim.  Grab a blanket and a bottle of wine and watch the sunset. Go hiking, ride a bike or do any outdoor activity that you won't do in the winter. Visit a State Park Some of the most simple things in life you can do alone, though it is more romantic, when you watch a sunset or rise with another person. I think the most important thing is, that we take those few moments to take it all in, for all we are surrounded with.

Life takes us down many roads as we chase after our dreams, we often take for granted the beauty of what we are surrounded with. When we consume ourselves chasing after our dreams, we often forget to stop and smell the flowers. The one thing that I have learned is to appreciate the priceless little things in life What I am talking about are the things that are priceless, that money can't buy. Such as a beautiful sunset over the ocean. The feel of the sand between our toes. The way the sun feels on your skin, when it is shining on you, on a perfect day. The smell of flowers in the air, when they blossom in the Spring. As a parent, you learn that when you don't have money to provide for your children the way you had hoped, you learn to appreciate the little things of being a parent. The feeling you get the first time you look into your babies eyes. The sound of the first time they laugh. The smile on a child's face, when they see a toy and they get a gleam in their eyes....
