Forgot What It Was Like

My life seems to have an accelerator. I'm conditioned to move thru it at a fast pace, always looking for the next immediate task.

"Oh no! I'm idle.. What can I do right now?"

Sometimes, I feel like I can't slow down, or I'll get passed up. The result? Adding stress and gray hairs, obviously.

Then occasionally, there's a night like I had tonight. Where I'm reminded about the luxury of taking a night away from worry. Slowing things down and having a deep meaningful conversation with someone you enjoy talking with. In 2 hours, I was able to recharge tonight with a friend. We shared a bottle of wine and talked about our lives. I was reminded that there really are people out there who are pulled in the same ways I am. Better yet, there are people out there with compassion for their friends who feel the tug.













Tonight, I became better friends with someone I've known for awhile.

I'm glad I know her.
