Slow Down!

I feel so calm and serene right now.
I just needed to slow my roll and just stop for a minute.
My cousin helped me do that today.
A little thing like going to a kids T ball game made it all go away.
Days of torment and frustration. Gone for now.
Just sitting in the fresh air with the cool breeze and just sitting to sit and just be somewhere for no reason was just what I needed.

So to all my friends here that have been struggling with me the past few days.
Slow down and stop...breathe a minute.
Sounds silly. But it worked for me. At least today.
I hope this all passes for all of us.
i know it will.
Thank god for all of you.
I am thankful and grateful for this board and everyone here.

Well, I think having patience and taking time to make the right choices is a really good idea. I didn't really have that problem because I felt quite comfortable accomplishing small things every day. I think you are learning patience Chi and it will help you.

I might just have to steal that part for a signature - if you don't mind, of course.

Of course you can.
Yea my problem is i am quick to react alot and always trying to do something.
Although sometimes stayin busy helps.
Just sitting somewhere and relaxing for no reason at all does the job too.
I miss the ocean.
I use to go sit by the water when I got all crazy.
Just sit an look out into the horizen.
Use to bring me such peace.
Closest thing to water here is my toilet.
Yea ...keep it simple is what that means.
It's the small things sometime.
Hope you all can take a minute to smell the flowers today.
