What’s the rush?!

Why rush through life and miss an important moment.  Take a breather and enjoy the moment.  Enjoy that meal you’re having whether it’s a burger or a Filet Mignon and any thing else in between.  Enjoy that drink whether it’s a glass of water, beer, a cup of coffee, a glass of wine or a glass of champagne.  Taste the flavor and savor the taste and make it last.  Take that moment to enjoy your friendship, your companionship or your loved ones.  Don’t rush through life – make life happens.

This category will be about living.  Food, Fun and Travel.  And any thing else that falls in between.  This will be a Photo Gallery of things I’ve seen and done.  Living life’s moments.
