Thankful for Slower Pace

so many times over the years friends (and far flung family) have teased me for taking life so slow. I was raised only an hour away from here, but it was in the city. I tell them I choose to be here, to walk slow, to talk slow, to live with purpose. I am the same multi-tasker so typical to our times, but my element catches up with me, and I don't stay in hyperdrive for long. It is an effort. I am continually extricating myself from commitments which rob me of my time. Noble causes undo me, but I am my own worthy cause too. Why don't you sit a spell and drink some sweet tea, and tell me about your troubles.... you'll be glad you did!
