Stop and Smell the Life Passing You By


How many of you hurry and rush 24/7? I know I used to. Why does it take an act of something terrible happening in your life, for you to realize life is so very short?
I find even in my own hobbies I rush to get to the next project. I hurry to finish one just so I can start something new. Oh, the rush it used to bring me. Knowing there were freshly purchased beads, still temporarily strung, and some still in their original packaging, just waiting to be used for something incredible. Something that has been on your mind for the last week or so. You just need to button up the one you are working on now. Why? Who knows. We all sometimes feel compelled to complete our task at hand. That is what we were taught as children right? Finish what you start.

My children have taught me just the opposite. It's OK mom. It is OK to take your time with each passing project. If an idea strikes you, go ahead and get started. Your others will always be there. And you may forget your fresh new idea if you wait too long.

And sometimes, just sometimes, it is OK to walk away completely and play outside!
