You know, this semester has been a rough one.  Not so much because of the number of classes I'm taking - I do that to myself every time - but more because the layout of my days.  No one should have to be on campus that much. 

But as busy and stressed out as I sometimes get, there's always something wonderful to be noticed about the world.  In my classes I've been learning about the development of new life, of the intricacies of the body and its systems, and of all sorts of fascinating creatures.  It's beautiful.

The world around me seems to agree.  I walk outside in the cool, crisp autumn air and take the splendor of this world into my lungs.  My eyes watch the leaves change color and flutter to the ground with the passing wind then watch my breath as it clouds and disappears.  Life is good.  It's beautiful and simple.

So if you find yourself stressed with too much to do, take a walk.  Notice the little things.  Because it is our missing them that sets us off kilter.
