Take Time TO Take Time

Yesterday I stopped.

My gas tank was completely and utterly empty. I had nothing left to give to anyone.

I closed my computer.

I left the dishes in the sink.

I left the the laundry in the baskets.

I left the mail on the counter.

I left emails unanswered.

I left my to do list undone.

I laid in my hammock and did nothing but listen to the wind rustling the giant tree in my backyard while two of my dogs ran and played.

I pushed away all the “shoulds” and just breathed.

And it was glorious.

We all need to stop a little more.
