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.

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.
