When Life Slows Down

A week off from school means life slows down.

And when life slows down, there are no schedules, no alarm clocks, no deadlines. No rush. No hassle. Just life. Without restrictions. Ahhh.

When life slows down, little things take on a bigger meaning.  There's beauty and appreciation in life's simple pleasures.

You get to play out loud in a pit full of colorful balls.

You actually make it a priority to work out.

You rediscover the joy of reading a good book.

You appreciate a visit from Pippa, a furry friend, and you actually make time to have an authentic conversation with your neighbor.

You remember how good it feels to just let loose and be goofy.

When life slows down, you recognize what it's like living through a child's eyes.

You see things from a whole new perspective and you ponder....what would life be like if I slowed down just a bit more?
