A very dear friend of mine has had some health issues during this past year that has forced her slow down. She is a mom to two wonderful kids and fantastic husband. She is also trying to complete her college degree. Determined to reach her goals, she works hard trying to fit everything in. During the past year, things have changed for her. She has had to put her degree on hold, was unable to drive for a while, and has had to depend on others to help her do things she used to do with one arm tied behind her back. She is making progress to get her illness under control while trying to adjust to a slower pace.
My dear friend has made me realize that
I needed to slow down. For as long as I can remember, I have just been running
myself crazy. I have two jobs, three kids, and a husband. I used to go to
college on top of that. Thankfully I have finished college but some days I feel
like saying, “Stop the boat and let me off.” I doubt this boat will ever stop but I intend
to slow it down.

I love the coast and just about
everything having to do with it. It brings me a peace that is hard to explain. I can feel my body begin to relax the very
instant that I smell the sea water. The stresses of life just float out to sea. I am there every chance I get. If I am not
on the beach, I am in the boat fishing or admiring other boats nestled in their
slips.
My new goal is to slow down and
enjoy today. I have spent half of my
life planning for tomorrow and making goals. While these things are very
important in life, I have come to realize that they shouldn’t take over my
life.
