When you really stop and sit........

It's amazing the world that opens up around us when we really take a moment to just stop and sit!

I took those moments earlier this week when we joined our friends for a double celebration at the Ritz-Carlton at Half Moon Bay. My husband, Mitch, was the "birthday boy" and our friends were celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary.  Did we dance in joy? No, we sat!

After walking around and enjoying the scenery, we sat down to a wonderful lunch. The champagne flowed and then the chocolate arrived.  Thanks to our wonderful waitress we even indulged in a few more pieces of the hand-made chocolate delights.  When Janet asked if they sold the chocolates at the hotel, the answer came back, "no", but I'll get you four more boxes. SWEET!!!!!

After filling our tummies it was time to walk some more and then we came upon the perfect place to stop!

Someone left a libation!

You notice birds flying overhead and little black birds perched on a fence!

Perfection!

More perfection!

Warmth and Friends. It doesn't get any better!

I've never seen so many pumpkins!

What color doesn't a pumpkin come in?

I loved a painting in the lunchroom, but said the artist had taken artistic license because there are not teal pumpkins! I was wrong!

 I totally enjoyed my day of food, rest, and wonderment!   I even came up with the question of the day.
What would you do when faced with a crack in the road?

I think I might just sit and take in all the world has to offer!

It's never too late to just sit and enjoy!
