Where’s the rush? I watch someone zoom past me only to wait for me at the next light. The world seems to be a better place for me when I take the moment as it happens. If I’m interrupted when I’m doing something I think is important, I’ve found it’s better to yield to the interruption and come back to my work with a calm mind. It’s going to get done, it always does. And, who knows, maybe I did some good by being present to the interruption.

I love children. They are constantly inquiring. They leave yesterday behind and begin each new day with fresh eyes. They may fall down, but they’ll get up, shake it off, and begin again.

Will you find time to relax today? Will you escape for a few minutes to refresh your mind? We need to break away from the noise, chaos, and tensions that fill our lives. If we don’t break away, even for a few moments, our thinking becomes dull, our energy evaporates, and life drains from us. Break away, refresh, and renew.
