Today's thought: Slow down.
It seems so many are always in a hurry. Some feel they should be able to multitask, and others zoom past us on highways as if we were standing still. There are emergency situations when it is imperative that we move and do what needs to be done as quickly as possible but, for most of us, emergencies are not a part of our daily lives. When we hurry, hurry, rush, rush through our day, we miss the little things that calm and soothe the mind and heart. We incur unnecessary stress, and we may overlook our connection to Spirit, the God center within us.
The Greek philosopher, Socrates, who lived from 470B.C to 399B.C, asked that we "Beware the barrenness of a busy life." More recently, John O'Donuhue wrote that too many had embraced "the religion of rush."
Slow down. Refresh your mind, heart, and soul with the little moments that make life so precious. Listen to a child's laugh; carry a balloon; fly a kite; smile at yourself; tell someone you love that you love them; and be grateful that you are a part of life where anything is possible.
Wishing you happy and blessed moments throughout your days.....and peace, joy, and love, always.
