We Must Slow Down

It seems that we're all on this massive treadmill that is going faster and faster each day. Most of us find that extra energy to keep up but some of us fall and get flattened like George Jetson on the closing scenes of the Jetsons. Round and round they go flattened on the belt of that treadmill.

As I talk with more friends, I find that all of us are going through this same crazy situation -- trying to do a million things and be everything to everybody. Eventually, it all comes crashing down on us.

After reading Supasister's and JA's blogs, I feel like we're each going thru the same thing but for many different reasons. All I can say at this point is that we will have to cast off some of this stuff and simplify our lives. I'd hate to look up one day and feel like I've missed out on the better aspects of life because the rat race consumed all my time. Time to enjoy the family, home, friends, and the things that matter most in life.
