Time to SLOW DOWN

Doing too much again even though I've said NO
to a few extra projects, my list seems to grow bigger.
All things I love to do, mostly dealing with writing
and teaching. Need to SIMPLIFY and SLOW DOWN.
Easier said than done sometimes, but POSSIBLE
with more SELF CONTROL, prayer and practice.
No thank you, I'd love to but I just have too much to do or
maybe another time. I'd like to help, but not be in charge!

  1. I'm grateful that my time now is pretty peaceful and laid back. I just have to cook a birthday dinner for a friend.

  2. This is great. I hear you! I am grateful for the snows that make me slow down. I have come to count on them.

  3. i was watching an old NCIS and the comment or similar one made frequently was: you can sleep when you are dead. I found that very funny cuz it's true but then why am I so tired...or am i just lazy? Is it the winter cold? the bundles of clothes I wear? the torn up basement waiting to be waterproofed that leaves things all over my dining room? I just don't know. Sometimes I fear if I slow down, I'll stop. forever. Scary

  4. You say 'yes' as long as it keeps you busy and makes you happy. But when it starts to feel like a burden you say 'no'. That's what being retired is all about.
