There are better ways to slow down
I’ve been on an interesting spiritual journey since yesterday afternoon. Somehow how left ankle began hurting. I am sure I twisted it, (have a couple times lately) but I just don’t remember doing it yesterday. We had Trunk and Treat at the church yesterday afternoon and I put Caution tape on the labyrinth and had the kids walking through it. I am sure it happened while I was setting it up. I just don’t remember.
I have found myself having to slow down today. It isn’t bad enough that I can’t walk, but I can’t walk very fast. I still walked to the post office today and found I was noticing things more. There were great wispy clouds. Of course leaves galore, not too many trees left with trees here.
I try not to think of myself as an impatient person, but I discovered that I do rush around too much. So instead of cursing the ache in the ankle, I am choosing to see what kinds of things I will notice now that I have to take my time getting places. (though I have a feeling I will still be able to zip around in my red car).
What might you see if you slowed down in your normal routine?
