Andrew on the Heathrow Express ~ Photo by KeithSometimes life goes by at such a hurtling speed that it can seem like it is all a blur. So much going on in our lives that we can start to loose sight of the important things. When things get to a point where you can't even make out a clear picture... then it is definitely time to slow things down.
Looking out at the world that should appear so beautiful, with so much to offer, but all you see is a blur of chaotic life. Maybe you feel that way inside too. Feeling out of control, anxious and panicky. Life is going by so fast, and you have barely begun to live, to appreciate, to have made a difference, to have truly loved.
Time to slow down, take it easier, take time to smell the roses. Slow down enough to allow the view ahead to become clear.
None of us can see what the future holds. Things may get better, may get worse. If we can remember to just enjoy what we have in the present. To take it one day at a time...then just maybe the future will fall into place with less of a frightening pace.
Live for today.

Life passes all to quickly. Each year just that much faster. Yes.. I am definitely trying to slow down my pace. I don't want to miss a thing.
I feel that way so much of the time. Somedays I don't even have time to sit and relax. I want to have a life that I can actually enjoy!
Very well put.
We run to work.
Rush to get ready.
Eat fast food.
Drive in the fast lane.
Time to slow down and smell the roses and enjoy what is out there.
I spent so much time running in the past and now being casual and taking my time is so refreshing.
I see so much
Great reminder. It's to easy to wrapped up in it that you forget what is really important to you.
One thing I had to learn to change when I retired was to get out of the "vacation mode." You always seem to be in a hurry when on vacation as it will end & you have soooo much to do before then that you must rush all the time. When you retire, the vacation doesn't end but it takes awhile to get used to that change. I often tell people that my week starts with Sunday, then I have six Saturdays until another Sunday starts the next week.
Excellent advise! Sometimes we get so busy we forget to appreciate all the beauty around us.
Excellent advice, friend. I needed this today. Thanks. :)
