Little Things Change The Way We Think
I Am Learning From You
How one person can change are lives
An average day nothing exceptional in any way
Off the gym getting an early work out in
I was finishing up on a machine and someone was waiting alongside
I stopped to wipe it clean for him to use after me
I told him almost done since he seemed impatient and I did not want to waste his time
He replied " Ater all these years I haven't been in a hurry I am not going to start now "
Thinking how nice it would be if more people thought like that
My day is forever changed by a simple man who walked away
There are so many things to do each day
When those things are done there will be another list to follow
If we rush to get things done does it really help us in any way?
Does it really mattter?
What if we took time to slow down and do it right
Those things not done will be done next time or later if need be
How much better would I feel ?
Knowing I enjoyed what I could and pushed myself to my limits
Respectfullly enjoying life and it's ongoing activities
To understand how each little thing influences my perspective on life
I can now sit back and relax
Try as I have in the past
When my job is done I think differently now
I am happier than before knowing I completed one more thing
Those things that I started and aren't finished yet
Will be there waiting for me when I am ready
Then I will chose what things I want to finish and complete
My thanks go to a stranger I will never meet

Yes, let's stop to smell the roses. Now is the time to do that. Not in the future that we don't even know.
Thanks for sharing!
Jill of alltrades You must have the prettiest rose garden.
Dream on - I used to have some pretty roses but they all died when we got flooded. All I have now are memories of them in pictures. Check out my rose hub.
Jill of all trades Maybe this year you will have time to plant again.Good luck and may beautifil surprises always come.
sress is bad, relaxing is good, you relax for a while now..... o.k. I love it when you write for me..... another please.....
Poetlorraine How did your packing go?Vacation is a sweet place for a super sweeeet person like you.
This made me think of when I'm driving down the road and a car flies by me, weaving in and out of cars impatiently, trying to get ahead, only to be one car in front of me at the stoplight. Know what I mean? There really is no point to be in such a hurry all the time... when you could just be enjoying life. Voting up :)
Jamie Brock To enjoy more is to live more.Now I am happier with less things in my life.When something special or great happens I am estatic through the roof with excitement.Thanx so much for reading and have a great day.
