When life forces a pit stop
It’s great when you can decide when it’s time to slow down; it’s quite another when it’s forced upon you.
Tomorrow we’ll be halfway through the month of November and I’ve had to take the first half of this month very slowly. No choice. Period. It’s a fact and one I’ve had to become resigned to whether I like it or not.
Yikes – maybe I shouldn’t have made that list. I can feel my heart race as I think about all I want to get done and how far behind I feel. These thoughts and more are always roaming about in my head so now I know why I woke up at 5:30 this morning and couldn’t get back to sleep…
No matter how long my task list is, this month I’ll adjust to the fact that I’m moving like a turtle rather than a hare, but while I’m not moving too quickly or completing tasks daily, like the turtle I will continue with determination and come out a winner. As the turtle says to the hare, “Slow and steady wins the race!”
