Rushing For Nothing
Lately it seems like we are always rushing.
KIds hurry and eat your dinner.
Hurry and put on your shoes.
Hurry and tidy you rooms.
Hurry....
Hurry....
Hurry....
Why all this rushing through life?
If we slowed down would the world fall apart?
We sure act like rushing could be moment between life and dealth.
How silly?
If I think about it, maybe slowing down isn't so bad.
I might be late a little more often, but so be it, if I can have one more scoop of potaotes at dinner, sit on the toliet for an extra page of reading, apply two coats of shaving cream in the shower, or play two games of Crazy Eights with the kids. Life would seem a little more focused, and a heck of alot happier.
So I challenge all you folks to slow down, take it easy, and poke around alittle. You might even like it.

Crystal,
I wished I would have read your challenge sooner....perhaps I might not have worked on Canada Day. I would love to take that challenge, but it is a challenge I think many people have taken privately. However, it is really hard to continue at any pace because our society has become a "hurry" society.
We are all on schedules for everything...and if we are late then the doctor, dentist, accountant, lawyer, social worker, priest, reverend...etc, may not be able to see us because they have another meeting booked right after.
We live in this rush rush world and I know at times I am missing the most important things in life, but at times still feel out of control in seizing the moments. Someday I hope to but I also hope that our society changes a little which makes it easier for all of us....and we are society...it's like a catch 22. We blame them - society but we are them - society.
Stores should not be open on Sundays or holidays....but not only because of religious beliefs but because of society beliefs that everyday does not have to be about making money and more time about being spent with family.
Well that is my rant about "rushing for nothing"...I couldn't agree more.
