Trying to make time to write!


The world is getting progressively more beautiful and alive around me. I feel energized and grateful for the change of seasons and pace. I've been making efforts to slow down, when I drive, when I walk, when I'm working, I make efforts to slow down my day. I ask myself, "Why am I rushing right now? I'm not running late." That grueling pace and pressure to GET THERE is the autopilot upon which I direct and my life. I feel that "JUST GET THERE" mentality in many areas of my life. The pressing need to finish up fast, meet the intended goal, and then continue to the next thing, without even a second glace back. Without a mention of thanks or job well down.

And don't get me wrong, it's not bad to be ambitious and driven, but I don't want to miss the journey. The world is beautiful around me, even in the backdrop of stress or traffic or hurry. And I guess that is sort of it: don't let stress control you, by allowing it to dictate your focus. You focus on what's important. Stress or whatever is causing the stress is not what's important. Whether money, a guy, a boss, or yourself, stress cannot overcome the good that's happening.
