...slow down

Slow Down

There are times when life seems to be out of control.
I get caught up and overwhelmed by the insignificant things in life.
Times when I was looking down, but should have been looking up.
Times when I forgot that work is what I do, not who I am.
When I am speeding out of control, there always seems to be
a guiding hand at just the right time to slow me down
and to remind me that the beauty in life is not the asphalt highway,
but in stopping to pick the flowers that grow along the side.
-Bill Stross

Sometimes your friends simply know you best.

For Christmas, Vickie gave me the coolest little wee ones in the Heavenly Flyer above. She told me to read the poem before opening the gift. It's all so perfect for me, for my life, for how I live life, and I love it.

And I just wanted to share it with you. ♥
