CAN YOU PLEASE SLOW DOWN???

Hey hey!  How are you?  I am absolutely fantabulous. 

Just wanted to talk a little about the stressful habit of always being in a hurry.  When I am in the city (because I live in the boonies) I notice that quite a few people are in a hurry and they act like someone is gonna die if they don't get a move on.  YIKES!

 

Being in a hurry is very very dangerous because horrible things happen when we are in a rush (or drunk...  I don't know where that came from, lol) and so we can prevent a lot of mishaps by slowing down a little bit. 

 

I remember a few years back we were going to have a bar-b-q and my friend got a call from the hospital that his Dad was in an accident.  It was a bit scary, so I was trying to hurry and I dropped a big bag of ice on my toe and broke my toe.  I looked up into the sky and said, "thank you Lord."  I did this because at age 39, I knew, and know, that when something like that happens the Lord is telling me to slow down.

 

Please please please, don't wait for something to happen to you because you are in a hurry when you can create tons of prevention just by slowing down.

 

Just notice if you have a state of being in a hurry.  Maybe in the morning you are always in a hurry, or when you have to pick your kids up, or on the way to work.  Just notice it, and if it is so, slow your bootay down.

 

I know that it is not necessary to be in a hurry, it is just a habit really, especially for city folks.  It's called impatience

 

Can you please slow down?  Just wondering...

 

Have a great day and don't forget...

 

Have fun and be playful.

 

HUGS

 

Speak soon...

A NEW EARTH

NEW BOOK FOR THE BIBLIOTHERAPY! A NEW EARTH

by Eckhart Tolle A New Earth, Awakening Reprint editionThe Power Of Now was a strong influence on my thought process so I thought I would read A NEW EARTH.  I have read this one before but I thought that it would be a good read after reading THE POWER OF NOW by the same author Eckhart Tolle. 

I just started to read it.  The last time I read it, when Oprah was doing a special on it, I marked the book all up with my pink high lighter.  This time around I am finding that I am interested in different points the book is making.  This is very interesting to me because it indicates that I have made a shift, a cognitive shift, since I read it last.

Let me know what you think!!!

Have a super duper day!
