We are all moving through life, sometimes on auto-pilot, not noticing the world and all it's movement around us. We move from childhood to adolescence to adulthood--from home to college then into the world. We move in cars and on motorcyles or boats or buses or airplanes. We move from state to state or town to town or just from room to room. Sometimes we move quickly; sometimes we s l o w down to "smell the roses" but do we ever really stop? Moving is such a part of being human. As a mom of small boys I feel like I know a lot about moving--moving never stops at my house. Sometimes I fight it and just want stillness for a moment but when I take time to allow the movement to become part of me I am more open to those moments that can truly move me in a deep, meaningful and emotional way... How does life move you?                                           *definition of moving taken from www.m-w.com

The two pictures of the Mustang are my brother Carter's car. He took the pictures of it, but I'm not sure how to credit him other than adding this comment since he's not a member of tabblo--yet.
