Yes,
with maturity I
am slowing down.
But it is far from pitiable
for I am FINALLY cured
of my Hurry-itis!
And it's lovely!
Things look different
near the top
of the mountain.
Thank You
for sharing the view,
Warmly, cloudia
Good Morning, Cloudia! Great post and wonderful quotes.. I agree it is so nice not worrying about hurrying..Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteI have never understood why many people consider busyness virtuous and idleness wrong (like taking a nap, or just relaxing). To me, a balance is the best thing, not too much of one or the other!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to chill and enjoy the scenery, and not be bound by doing. Have a nice day today, Cloudia!
ReplyDeleteNow that I have retired, I have learned to relax and enjoy life without having to keep time.
ReplyDeleteOne reason to stay busy sometimes is to keep from thinking about a hard life.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're enjoying the slower pace!
ReplyDeleteloved the socrates quote.
ReplyDeleteStop to smell the flowers!

... ah the barrenness. Yup, it's there lucking in the bushes when we try to 'do it all.'.

ReplyDeleteYou go, Sista! I will plop right down beside ya on that gorgeous beach and watch that sunset just take me away...ALOOOOHA!
ReplyDeleteSlowing down is a gift. A gift among many.
