“Slow down, you move too fast, you gotta make the good times last.” ~ from “The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feeling Groovy),” by Simon & Garfunkel
Good Morning!
I remember a Wisconsin winter where we had a really “wet snow.” My daughter wanted to go out to eat as we had planned the night before. The little Mexican restaurant we often frequent is about fifteen minutes away on a non-snowy day. Given the number of accidents I had
seen earlier on the freeway, I didn’t think it was a good idea to go out in these conditions.
“But we have four-wheel drive, Mama,” she pleaded, puffing out her lip in a pout that must have taken years of perfecting in front of a mirror.
“It will take us almost an hour to get there,” I tried to reason – but I ended up succumbing to her pouty lip. I told her I would only drive on the back roads. I am a great snow-driver, but I don’t necessarily trust everyone else on the road, so I decided there wouldn’t be as much traffic on the
back roads.
We bundled up and set out on our journey. The back roads hadn’t been plowed yet, so we sang “Dashing Through the Snow” as we made our way to the restaurant in a little less than my predicted hour.
After an enjoyable dinner, we made the return trek home. By then, the snow had really begun to accumulate. As I turned onto the road that leads to our home, I was taken aback by the beauty of the snow resting on the trees. It was one of those “blanket snows” that made everything look like it was outlined in
lace. I pointed it out to Sammy, and we drove the rest of the way even slower to enjoy the beauty to be found in each snow-covered form of nature.
Interestingly, I always find myself in a cheerful mood when the Wisconsin snow falls. Many people aren’t fond of the snow and hate driving in the “white stuff.” During the wet snow, it occurred to me why I like the snow. In my daily hustle and bustle, it is easy to
miss the beauty of the trees and nature that surrounds me. The snow forces me to slow down. As soon as I slow down, I can see all the beauty that surrounds me more clearly.
Your Turn: Slow down today. Notice how slowing down helps you see more beauty in life. Do as the “Feeling Groovy” song lyrics suggest, and “make the good times last.”
Today’s Affirmation: I absorb and appreciate all the beauty around me.
And as always, don't forget to start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is going to happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!"
And when ending your day ask yourself: "What is one more thing I can do to make today matter?
