Take 5

Is it just me or does the world seem to be going at a break-neck speed and gaining momentum each day?  Maybe it's my advancing age as well.  I've spent way too many years chasing whatever it was that I thought that I needed.  We all need a breather from time to time and it doesn't matter if we need a break from work, school, or the hectic pace of life. 

Of late, I find myself wanting to slow down and enjoy a more peaceful life.  It's not trying to escape responsibilities, it's having less worry.  I'm not exactly sure what that will entail in the long run, but I do know that for now, that involves finding those moments (or minutes) in my day that I can just sit and enjoy some quiet time.  When I do that I find that I can refocus on the tasks that need to be done, allows me to feel less anxious, and let's me focus on the needs of those I love. 

Find some time for yourself today and just relax.  It's a great way to quiet your mind and soul.
