A Snail's Pace

Yesterday, sitting in the backyard watching Aubrey swing, I couldn't help but notice a snail squirming along in the grass. It made me realize how incredibly fast paced our lives are and how many things we try to cram into a day's work. We never just take it easy and slow down to enjoy our surroundings. Taking this into consideration, I decided to point out the snail to Aubrey. I thought she would appreciate the cool, slow moving shell in the grass. However, I was wrong. She got one look at the slimy little thing, screamed, and ran into the house. I guess we'll have to work on her love of nature.
