Tis the season to enjoy as much as make

Peter: What's up everybody?

Welcome to another episode
of a Creator's Journey.

I'm your host, as always, Peter Witham.

You can find me at PeterWitham.com.

So we are entering the holiday
season here in America and most

of the world, I believe, and
this is my favorite time of year.

Now it's my favorite time of
year for a few reasons, not

just cuz it's holiday season.

As you know, I absolutely love the
fall, especially being a photographer.

All those wonderful colors,
the change of seasons and all

the things that go with that.

Not the least of which in Texas is the
lower temperatures, which arguably is

one of the most enjoyable things for me.

But what I want to talk about
here is to remind you to enjoy it.

Now, that may sound obvious.

But it is all too easy to get consumed
by making of things and you know,

pursuing those tasks and those creative
tasks to forget that you need to

stop and enjoy the season as well.

Take those breaks, relax.

Have fun with family and friends.

Do whatever your heart
desires to go and do.

For example, this is the time when you
are supposed to relax and enjoy it.

So if you want to go take that
short trip, little photo excursion

or something like that, go do it.

Just go hang out in the forest
and appreciate the sounds and the

colors and everything else, but
ultimately don't forget to enjoy it.

Because it is over before we know it.

Certainly for me, it goes by so quickly.

Remember when you were a kid, right?

I like to try and capture that thing.

Remember when you were a kid and it
seemed like these holiday seasons went on

forever and ever and it was just fantastic
and you had all the time in the world.

And now that we're adults,
it seems like blinking.

You miss it and it's done and gone
before tomorrow has even got here.

That's what I try to avoid.

I try to avoid that blink and you
miss it because before you know

it, you're sitting there going,
Gosh, now I gotta wait another 10

months for it to come around again.

So stop and enjoy it.

Do whatever you want to do.

Have some fun.

That's what I'm gonna do.

I am gonna get a lot more of
my live streaming in because

I just love doing that.

I don't have to pre-plan
it, Not really that much.

Anyway, as far as the content, I
just start up the stream, hang out

with some friends in the chat room.

We have a blast.

We do some things most, mostly
it's about the conversations

and just having fun though.

And then, I push the
stop button, That's it.

I'm done.

I don't have to worry about
any post production unless I

want to or anything like that.

And I'm back on to
enjoying the next thing.

So that's just a little
reminder there for you all.

Stop and enjoy the season.

Make the most of it.

And if it's not holiday season for you.

Use it as an excuse to stop and
enjoy things anyway, Lord knows

that this world we live in now
is so complicated, so stressful.

It goes by so fast.

Take any and every opportunity
that you get to stop and enjoy it.

That's it.

That's all the message I've got
for you in this episode, but

it is a super important one.

If you like what you are hearing
here, please leave a review and rate.

I greatly appreciate it.

If you feel there are folks in your lives
that you know that need this message,

share this episode with them so that
they know that, oh, yep, that's right.

A reminder to go and enjoy it.

Maybe then they'll stop
and enjoy it with you.

Wouldn't that be fantastic?

That's it folks.
