Get On With It ...

My family is like many families in America
today, in fact, we may be just like millions
of other "middle income," families.  We
are seeing what we used to have in savings,
going down, while we are seeing our no
longer "full time," work hours, going up,
without, so called, benefits?  Our dollar
is getting thinner as it's stretched out, and
our brain is getting less patient as it's
stressed out.  Our ability to reason and
remain calm is getting called upon every
second now, instead of every minute,
and it used to be every hour, or every
day, or every week, or every month, in fact
there was a time patience was measured in
years- now it's measured by the length of
time it takes a certain hamburger maker to
get your order out to you - OR ELSE!

Is it possible to slow down, just a little?
Is it worth it to slow down?  Here is something
that I share with someone whom I've known
for years, a person who used to care more
about living life, and enjoying it, than work-
but who now spends more time at work-
than anywhere else?  Why- because this
person knows, nobody on their death bed
says "man if I'd just worked one more hour!"

What can you do to slow down?  Here are three
suggestions:  1) Call a friend and ask them to
have lunch with you.  2)  Call a friend that
you haven't called in a while and spend ten
minutes with the cubicle door shut and
actually listen to what they say.  3)  Go
to the one you love and tell them you
love them, and listen, to what they say.
