Does there ever come a point in our lives where we find quiet waters? I look around me and life is speeding past me at the speed of light. I long for a quieter - more peaceful time. Am I wishing for something I just can't have any longer? Have our lifestyles changed so much we can't slow down? In the day and age of instant information and gratification, if we slow down to just catch our breath does life pass us by?
I think we miss so much of what is important because we spend too much time rushing from one thing to another. It saddens me that our children have grown up in a time where Sunday afternoon picnics for the most part are a thing of the past. I'm tired of the rat race - I really want off my wheel. I'm tired of being so responsible and carrying the weight of the world. Are some of us just destined to be the caretakers? It is very difficult to break that cycle when we are surrounded by people who take advantage of our generosity. I am thinking more and more that people just suck. I definitely prefer the company of my animals. I always know what I'm getting there! I need to keep reminding myself...and all of you out there that people only do what you allow them to do. So...to all of us people pleasers....put that line in the sand and hold your ground...remember the mighty oak is just an acorn who stood his ground.

Have you ever had a day when you weren't rushing? It feels werid and you don't know what to do with yourself. I would comment on the second half but I might have to eat those words later so I won't for now.
me? not rush around? That's like saying don't inhale!
You are a big people pleaser too and you know I'm right so either jump off that rat wheel or I'm gonna throw a stick in it :)
