slowed down?  Do you remember the last time that you enjoyed the moment?  Dependent upon your part of the country, have you enjoyed the crisp fall air?  When was the last time you enjoyed the moment?  Whatever moment it was?  I don’t know if for you it was a walk at night with your special someone… or maybe it was a large coke!

Or maybe it was…

  • Holding hands with your spouse
  • kissing your kids goodnight,
  • waking up and feeling the warmth on your sheets compared with the cool air
  • SNOOZE!!!
  • the first sip of a hot cup of coffee
  • A good laugh that almost makes you cry…
  • What is it for you???

I have to admit…  Sometimes I stink at stopping and enjoying/appreciating those!  See it’s moments like those that get lost in the BIG details, the expenses, the deadlines, the pressures, the stress, and the overall crud.  Right now I need to see beyond moments like this…

Broken heaters...
Broken heaters...
Rodents invading my home!
Rodents invading my home!
Broken down CARS!!!
Broken down CARS!!!

It’s moments like that where I get lost in the details and the stress, and I miss out on enjoying the moments like these to the fullest:

Making music...
Making music...

FIRE FIGHTING!
FIRE FIGHTING!

Investigating their first rodent extraction!

Here’s the idea… Let’s take life a little slower.  Let’s focus on the beautiful moments more than the stressful ones…

Could you walk through life a little less hurried?  Could you stop and admire the details a little more?

What keeps you from living slowly?
