I found that walking instead of driving made me way more aware of what was around me. I walked through the cemetery instead of flying past it in my car. This allowed me to notice each individual gravestone and the plethora of designs in this cemetery. I also found myself looking at birthdates and death dates. I came across one child who died at only two years old. I feel extremely sad for this family, and I never would've had this realization if I drove by. I also noticed all of the fresh flowers at the gravestones from loved ones still grieving their loss. It was a wake up call that death could come at any moment so enjoying my life and taking in everything around me everyday is so important.
