For
the first time in many years, we are staying HOME for Thanksgiving. In
fact, after last week's travel ordeal, I am really happy to be home.
When you think about it, this is a great time to slow down,
reflect and be thankful for everything we have. This is also a
wonderful time to be truly connected with our family and friends -- see
their smiles, hear their laughter, and feel their joy. Be attentive and
be present with this precious life!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!
Slow Dance
By David Weatherford
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
on the fly?
When you ask: How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done,
do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say, "Hi"?
You'd better slow down,
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower.
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
