sometimes we move way too fast

running from home to the gym

racing from the gym to the office

not taking a break at work

dashing to the store

grabbing a bite in a restaurant

drinking a quick nightcap at a bar

then home to sleep before doing it all over again

no time to pause or reflect

not stopping to smell the roses

but when you do slow down

it all becomes so much clearer

time slows down too

you realize that you are blessed to have

-eyes for seeing

-a mouth for tasting

-a voice for talking

-ears for listening

-hands for feeling

-lips for kissing

-a heart for falling in love

-feet for walking

-a mind for pondering

memories to cherish

suddenly…..

the roses smell incredible

sunsets look so spectacular

home cooked meals taste delicious

voices sound so sweet

music makes you dance

you can take a walk

while holding hands

and being in love

that kiss under moonlight

makes everlasting memories

you can still dream big

get all your work done

and live your life with meaning

But…………………..slowly
