It Is Time To Slow Down

It is time To slow down Stay mindful Watch the birds In the meadows Admire the flowers In the garden Chat with friends In the neighborhood Have a cup Of hot tea Read an amazing book Play some relaxing music Sing your favorite song Go for a walk With your loved one Say how much you treasure Her or him In your life Cherish this present moment There is more to life Than making it go faster

Yes, there is! The rat race will not release you. You must escape from it.
