Slow Down, You Move Too Fast

Maybe you have to be as old as I am to remember that song. The words have certainly seemed relevant to me lately. I find that I have to take things slowly, pace myself, in order to get through the day. As a reward, though, I am able to appreciate things more fully, enjoy each moment, see things which I used to be too busy to notice.    Feelin’ Groovy…..I’m not quite there yet though.

I’m enjoying the windchimes that Dad and Evelyn gave me for my birthday

Pretty pictures, and I do remember that song very well.

I guess when you begin to feel better, you want to do more when suddenly your body says “Not Just Yet !”
Take Care.

Oh, I really like your windchime, Jan. And such a beautiful sunset you had that evening. Take care and take time to smell “the roses.”
