Have A Happy, Rushless Day

Good afternoon family and friends.  Today I found myself in a restful opportunity and as usual, I picked up my laptop to write.  I was on the island today and the beach was swarming with busy people and I mean busy.  It seems to me that folks have to plan their down time and recreation moments and spontaneity has gone out of the window.  How refreshing to hear someone say, “I think I will go and do this or that today.”  Life is so busy and so intense that people are attracted to simple, everyday stories with simple, everyday language to remind them that they have the right to be happy and relax and enjoy the moments. 

Perhaps we will plan a time in each day to learn this.  Maybe that is what it will take to un-busy ourselves enough to laugh and play.  I do understand the pressure that companies, family and even friends can place on our lives. It seems that the days are completely filled with no room to even finish the day; however, ten minutes to practice happy thoughts or one hour to take a stroll, not an exercise jog, but a relaxing time with a friend, spouse, a child, or a parent can change your life.  You will be happier and kinder to yourself.  I like to think of down time as rushless.  Yep, that’s it.  Rushless!

I know, I should be working on writing Milton and Virginia’s story but should takes all of the fun out of it.  A very wise gentleman reminded me over and over that should is not the reason to do anything.  I want to write this and I will, but not at this “rushless” moment in time.  Thank you all for spending time on my blog.
