"Life isn't some kind of race. We all cross the finish line, sooner or later. You'd hate to get the end in sight and suddenly wish you'd walked rather than run, wouldn't you?"  

                                 ~ Mary Alice Monroe  

Wow, yes!

Why would we want to rush through any day, sometimes even wishing it away, eager to be done with something?

At age 65, the finish line is not yet in sight for me, but I am aware that every day I am nearer. I no longer have that sense, like we do in youth, that the time stretches out so far that it is almost eternal. 

I am intending to slow down and walk. Stroll. Amble. Ramble. Smell the roses, as they say. 

Join me at this pace? Besides allowing us to better see beauty and experience joy, it is health-promoting and helpful for being in the flow.

Let's savor the day!

With love and reverence,
Charlene
