H is for hurry.
"Here's your hat, what's your hurry?"
Actually, for most of the day I have been considering the thought,
"Hurry up and wait." Life speeds along at an incredible clip and there appears but just one solution, to stop running through each day, to slow down and savor the moments. It's all easier said than done, of course, but if you will think back to days of childhood, I think you will find that yesteryear was a simpler time, a time of no hurrying, or at least much less of it, and you know, at the end of the day I wasn't feeling all stressed out.
It is my hope to once again learn how to
"stop and smell the roses," after all
"the hurrier you go, the behinder you get" and I don't have time for that!

ReplyDeleteGoing to Hughson to Louise's funeral will be a break from our daily routine of caring for Aunt Trula. I plan on reading while Don drives, and just enjoy seeing friends and celebrating Louise's life.
Have a wonderful, relaxing time, Wanda.
ReplyDeletehard to slow down, tho it's unclear where one is going

"stop and smell the roses" is one of my favorites sayings. Some of us need the opposite encouragement sometimes though...
ReplyDeleteI think yesteryears is better than today's world in a simple person's mind's perspective like me.

On our way home from a family picnic in the Finger Lakes, between Keuka and Seneca Lakes, my son and husband stopped to look at a car for sale. This carved "H" was sitting there in the front yard. I decided it would make a wonderful "ABC Wednesday" photo and snapped a picture.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to embrace the sentiment here. We just don't get to see half of our wonderful world because we have 'way too much going on in our lives.
ReplyDeleteMartha, thank you for the background to the photo.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Helen. I wish I knew more.
ReplyDeleteGreat post and 'hurrying' has been on my mind recetnly. I know I need to slow down, think more, appreciate more and in slowing down I know I will be more effective. Great reminder, great post.
ReplyDeleteSounds good!
