In general I like it fast.
I move fast and never stop. A lot can be accomplished in a day if you set goals, keep a list, and stay on pace!
However, when I jog, I s l o w it way down.
This happens not necessarily by my choice, I just can't go fast now, and never have had that capability.
I think it is the universe's way of making me "slow down and smell the roses".
Benefits of s l o w are endless!
*You hear and see the chickadees, cardinals, ducks.
*See and hear the river rippling as you pass over the bridge.
*Salute all the flags a flying, patriotic and decorative.
*Plan out your day, week, life!
*Watch the black cat sitting in its front window, basking in the sun.
*Enjoy the usually irritating squirrels chasing each other up trees in the barber shop pole twirly pattern.
*Find an occasional piece of change and maybe even a dollar!
*Check out yards and gardens, in all seasons.
*Have just a little time all to yourself to do nothing but whatever your brain chooses.
So, s l o w down and enjoy. Look around and appreciate!
I am a Putnamaniac because I appreciate the benefits of s l o w, especially in this beautiful place!
