I am getting much better about slowing down and enjoying things day by day, but when I get really stressed out I want time to fly by so I can get to a slower moment in time.

It seemed every couple of weeks we were dealing with a new crisis and this want went on for about 2 years. Then one day, recently, I got up and said to myself, NO ONE person controls my life or how I live it. No one person will make me feel badly for what I decide to do for, to and with myself in mind.<br /><br />Only then did I realize how precious MY life is and how short MY time is on earth. If i'm not happy, no one around me will be either. I have to have time to myself to recognize the little things every day or i'm unsettled all day long.<br /><br />Lovely post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-51352744610158654882009-07-28T19:40:14.910-04:002009-07-28T19:40:14.910-04:00The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the s...The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing [of birds] is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.Tolahttp://www.blueletterbible.org/index.cfmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-59470170294360028472009-07-28T14:24:23.770-04:002009-07-28T14:24:23.770-04:00Truly a beautiful post!

I am so glad that you are touched. I too need to smell those roses, especially on Tuesday's which is the busiest craziest day for me at work and I am tempted many a time to plainly forget.<br />AD, I hope you will find time to stop and smell those roses.<br />Hope, you are so right. God is so much around us. He created this beauty for us, for a purpose.

As much as I would like to sleep in, I have always conditioned myself to get up early. Hate it some times, as I really do want to sleep more many times. Must admit, the three days I was off last week, I believe one day I actually slept an hour longer. Not much, but for me I chose to! <br /><br />Madison, thank you for sharing your "smelling of the roses" with the birds.

On my way home from work last week, I saw a large flock of birds, white ones with long necks, sitting in trees. And I thought to myself that I'd come quite far.

There are many things right now I do neglect however nature is my treasure (heya, I am pagan, right)and I always will find consolation there. I am so glad that I have found you and allowed to share your journey with you. Since I visited your page first to NOW NOW you have progressed immensly.
