SLOW DOWN IN LIFE II

TO CONTINUE WHERE I STOP, HERE'S A POEM WRITTEN BY DAVID L. WEATHERFORD
QUOTED FROM TIMOTHY FERRISS BOOK AGAIN "THE 4-HOUR WORKWEEK" WHICH I FEEL ANYONE TOO FAST ON THE RAT RACE SHOULD PONDER! HERE'S IT GOES! ENJOY!

SLOW DANCE


HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED KIDS
ON A MERRY-GO-ROUND?

OR LISTENED TO THE RAIN
SLAPPING ON THE GROUND?

EVER FOLLOWED A BUTTERFLY'S ERRATIC FLIGHT?
OR GAZED AT THE SUN INTO THE FADING NIGHT?

YOU BETTER SLOW DOWN.
DON'T DANCE SO FAST.

TIME IS SHORT.
THE MUSIC WON'T LAST.

DO YOU RUN THROUGH EACH DAY
ON THE FLY?

WHEN YOU ASK: HOW ARE YOU?
DO YOU HEAR THE REPLY?

WHEN THE DAY IS DONE,
DO YOU LIE IN YOUR BED

WITH THE NEXT HUNDRED CHORES
RUNNING THROUGH YOUR HEAD?

YOU'D BETTER SLOW DOWN.
DON'T DANCE TOO FAST.

TIME IS SHORT.
THE MUSIC WON'T LAST.

EVER TOLD YOUR CHILD,
WE'LL DO IT TOMORROW?

AND IN YOUR HASTE,
NOT SEE HIS SORROW?

EVER LOST TOUCH,
LET A GOOD FRIENDSHIP DIE

CAUSE YOU NEVER HAD TIME
TO CALL AND SAY, "HI"?

YOU'D BETTER SLOW DOWN.
DON'T DANCE SO FAST.

TIME IS SHORT.
THE MUSIC WON'T LAST.

WHEN YOU RUN SO FAST TO GET SOMEWHERE
YOU MISS HALF THE FUN OF GETTING THERE

WHEN YOU WORRY AND HURRY THROUGH YOUR DAY,
IT IS LIKE AN UNOPENED GIFT THROWN AWAY.

LIFE IS NOT A RACE.
DO TAKE IT SLOWER.

HEAR THE MUSIC
BEFORE THE SONG IS OVER.



THAT'S ALL FOR NOW FOLKS! SLOW DOWN AND GO TRAVEL. SEE THE WORLD. IT IS NOT THAT EXPENSIVE FOLKS! I WILL BLOG MORE ABOUT PLACES TO GO CHEAPLY IN FUTURE. PLACES I HAVE BEEN. AGAIN REMEMBER TO SLOW DOWN. I ONCE SAW A SIGN AT THE BACK OF A FRIEND THAT SAYS "BORN TO PARTY, FORCED TO WORK"
WELL THAT SUM UP PRACTICALLY EVERYBODY ME INCLUDED, UNLESS OF COURSE
YOU ARE WORKAHOLIC!!!!!
