Slow Lane

As I drive the highway I realize that I am not anxious as I see cars flying past me dangerously in a rush. I reflect on my destination and all that I have to do today and realize there no urgency so I can stay in the slow lane. I can't remember the last time I felt this way? Just slowly on my way driving feeling sorry for those cars that are in such a hurry. I know how it feels to live on a watch, from here to there and it feels like it will never stop. But today, this day I am on the highway driving in the slow lane. No worries, just getting from point A to B safely. Hey look at me I am driving the highway in the slow lane and my hair is not blue, I am not retired or with nothing at all to do but yet and still I am driving in the slow lane, it's such a thrill! Relaxed and listening to melodic tunes really seeing and enjoying the views in the slow lane.

You've been shown a glimpse of life you should always remember and cherish. We all don't need to live by other peoples standards. Enjoy the slow lane while you can. :o)
