Always in a Hurry

a

   It seems we are always in a hurry these days. We don't have time to cook complicated meals so we microwave and get it done faster. We don't want to go to work, but we know we can't be late either, so we drive faster than the speed limit. Hurry up, that's all we seem to be doing lately in one form or another.

  Well, recently I saw the error of the "hurry up" mentality. My son was hit by a 4x4 right in front of my home. I have decided it is nice to sit back, slow down, and watch the life happening around you! What are we rushing for anyway? Later on in life we always here people say they wish they could go back or that they missed out on something....well I say slow down now and enjoy the life you have and the life around you because in an instant it can all change!

  That moment will forever be in my mind, reminding me to enjoy my life, enjoy my children, enjoy just breathing. So, take a moment, look around and smile.....you are still breathing!
