"STRETCH OUT AND WAIT"

Time sure does go faster and faster, the older we get, doesn't it? I've had this feeling lately, from someplace deep in my chest that makes me want to slow things down. Savor more, rush less. No, I've had the feeling for a while, maybe a year, but I've really felt it lately. It won't happen overnight, of course, but I've spent the last week trying, and that counts. Practice breeds habit, eventually and just the realization, just putting words to the feeling of wanting to slow it down and put my effort where my values and priorities are makes me feel good .

I sit here typing this with my cat on my lap, and as if on cue, he raised his tail and farted on me.
