Take time for urself .. enjoy every moment .. Go-on .. read this ....

---------------------------------------------------------------------------



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.........



Take care :)

Amazingly true. We miss spending time with our loved ones most of the time and deep in our heart, we keep reassuring ourselves that they UNDERSTAND cos am running for them. :(

We forget that life is not about a destination, but a journey. Each day is a journey.

Thanks for sharing Ashwini.

Thank you Ashwini for reminding me that.
I know it but it seems I need someone from time to time to whisper in my ear to relax, enjoy life and nature, not to hurry so much to do all and do the best cause perfection can never be achieved and you can never do it all.

I can relate to every item on this list.... it happens some time or the other... and like Claudia mentioned, we need reminders like this. Thank you Ashwini.

I've now added this to my Do Everyday List.

Ashwini... I really liked these lines ::

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


I actually used to do...but the daily routine & "running" around has kept me so far... good to realise that we need to "slow down" before the "breaks" fail!!!

These reminders are a must for all of us again and again, for us to realise what we are missing, atleast then we make an effort to stop for a while and enjoy those small pleasures in life.

Thanks Ashwini for sharing with us
