Go Slow

Several times a day over the last few weeks, I have unconsciously stopped what I was doing just to sit and think.

The fact is, I am inspired.  I am also happy.  The books that I am reading, the ideas that I am thinking, the dreams that I am dreaming, how I am spending my time, what I am choosing to go without, all of it reflects an optimism...a positivity that is new to me.

I am pleased with my progress, and I see the potential for further improvements without being in a rush to get there.  I am taking things slower, not rushing through an enjoyable activity just to get to the next item on my to-do list.  When I talk to someone in person or on the phone, I am present.  I do not multi-task, splitting my attention between the conversation and the TV or computer or any other shiny distraction.

Every day, I am reminding myself to move slow and make sure that I enjoy the ride.
