Day 108. I really like this little band of ponies out on the plains. They are actually starting to pose for me. I have to stop on the side of the highway and get out to take their picture but I think it is worth it. The cars and trucks passing by don't seem to mind, they don't even slow down. It is amazing how much of life just passes us by. "Stop and smell the roses", "Wake up and smell the coffee". We want to slow down and experience the small but important things in life, but, there is too much going on. If I slow down I can't get everything done. There is more to life than just getting things done. When we lived in Alabama the people there described it as being in the middle of the road all day. Sometimes you do need to slow down and enjoy the journey. We used to tease my brother that he never tasted any of his food. He just swallowed it so fast that he couldn't even tell what it was. So, I take the time to get off the road every once in a while and let the world pass on by. When I get to the end of my life I want to be able to look back and say, "Man, that was good."
