Walk Don’t Run

As I sit down to write this blog, I’m coming in from taking our dog for one of his daily walks. A walk that started out as a walk and somehow ended up at a run. I’m not sure whether it was cooped up energy on his part or impatience on my part as I thought of everything I still needed to do. Either way, we both seemed to benefit from the exercise, fresh air and expended energy.

Exercise aside, this evening walk got me thinking once again about life’s pace and our need for speed. Should I keep pushing myself to run faster and faster with everything I do? Or should I talk a “walk don’t run” attitude? There probably is a need for both paces and it just requires a bit ore thought as to when one is more important than the other. I say this as it is easy to get caught in the hamster wheel of life and when you really think about it, there is no reason to do so— in most cases the world will not end if we slow down. Life continues and we just start back up tomorrow. Sp, savor the moment.

Happy writing this week!
