Be Kind And Rewind

When was the last time we woke up early to go see the sunrise? Or when was the last time we went for a walk in the park? When was the last time we waded through that small stream? When was the last time we went outside to the flower garden just to smell the roses? Sometimes I believe in life we get stuck in the rut rushing to soccer practice, tied up with the cell phone or emails, bolting off to work or whatever it might be. When was the last time we put ourselves on pause? When was the last time we tivo'd ourselves? Sometimes I feel we need to take a few minutes and ponder all the wonderful things in life we have been truly blessed with. When was the last time we went for a drive up the canyon to see the fall leaves changing? When was the last time we closed our eyes and listened to the birds chirping? When was the last time we stopped to listen to the earth's heartbeat? Life is truly amazing but if we never stop for ourselves to discover that we will never experience that. Be kind and please take a few minutes to rewind!
