Everyday I have to drive somewhere or other. I have to either take the kids to school or pick them up.
When driving I just want to get to my location as quickly as I can. Matt hates me driving – he says I drive too fast! So he tends to be always driving. I hate it when I get stuck at the lights because I always seem to be in a hurry.
Today Matt and I went for a walk. It was a lovely day and we stopped on occasions to admire our surroundings. We chatted about how sometimes it’s good to stop.
People these days seem to have very busy lives and don’t have much time to stop. I sometimes am one of those people. Even when I can stop I am usually end up sewing or drawing.
Today I came to realise that this year I have stopped a lot of things – I have stopped with the self pity, I have stopped with the bad eating habits, I have stopped being lazy!
It’s amazing when you stop. You actually start thinking. Thinking on things that really matter. It gives you chance to reflect on where you have come from and where you are heading. It helps you appreciate all the good things in your life.
So I think I am going to stop more often.
