Slow Down Baby …..
Slow down baby…
…you’re moving too fast.
Why are we always in such a ding dang rush? I think people must have forgotten or simply don’t know how great it feels to just slow down. Take a deep breath. (No really, do it now. Breathe in…count to 5 wit da Mississippi in between, and SLOWLY release your breath). Doesn’t that feel good? If not, then you probably need to do it a few more times until it does, but check it…
Last night I was at Columbia mall just went there to kill an hour or two off the clock as I wait to pick up my client. I went with no intention of spending money, just figured I would walk around, window shop and chill.
I have no destination so I got my Ipod on, walking slow. With my sixth sense I can sense people behind me somewhat frustrated because they want to get around me and I am moving too slow for them. One little girl asked if whe could go around me. Lol. Even our kids are in a hurry. For what? I know everybody doesn’t have someplace to go like that, though I do acknowledge there are times when we must rush to and fro, but if you recognize that you find yourself rushing 24/7, please find a way to remedy the situation. Its not healthy for mind, body or spirit. This includes u tailgaters out there. Its not that serious and often suck reckless rushing can be deadly, or at least costly.
So my challenge to everyone is for at least 24 hours, don’t rush. If you are running late, o well. Just be late. Walk slowly. Smell the flowers, watch the birds, enjoy the breeze. I guarantee you by the end of the day you will feel much more relaxed.
Don’t take my word for it…try it for yourself!

Very true, very well put. That’s why it’s 1pm and I’m blogging from my bed. No need to rush yourself out of a life.
