Slow Down

Faster and faster the world goes by... Have you ever stopped to wonder why? Everything is faster... Faster cars...faster boats... maybe this is just a twisted joke. I looked in the mirror and what did I see... sagging skin where none use to be. I need to slow down... but where do I start? Maybe I could put my plan on a chart. It will include steps to slow myself down... cause I'm tired of my smile turning into a frown. I got in my car and drove to the beach...there stood in the sand... the water just out of my reach. I smelled the fresh air...then slowly closed my eyes... boy was I in for one big surprise! My muscles slowly relaxed...my eyes opened up wide... my breath became deeper...as I laughed till I cried. Something just as simple as going outside...can make a big difference... so give it a try! P.R. Deremer

Modern life is pretty fast paced. We just have to remember to slow down once in a while. Well done! :)
