The Hamster Wheels of Life

It is interesting how you can know, intellectually, that you need to slow down, take a breath, gain some perspective, etc... and then something happens that forces you to wake up! and pay attention!

It seems like this last month has been a blur of activity and the days and weeks just spin by faster and faster. I kept feeling like I needed to slow down and then today....smack! Mother Earth sent me the message to SLOW DOWN!

I was literally running late to work and was walking quickly across the parking lot when I ended up face-down on the sidewalk. The wind was knocked out of me and I have bumps and bruises, but fortunately nothing "broken" except my pride :-)

So....here is to slowing down.....taking a moment....leaving some extra time in my schedule...and paring down my life.
