Zzzzzz......

Have you ever felt so tired that you've accidently head banged your desk at work? Or fell asleep while your spouse was talking to you about their day? People today are taking on more than they're physically able to handle and yet, are unaware most times its even happening. Take me for example; I have 5 JOBS! Four part-time jobs and then one full-time job, to which I am at right now writing this, and it all begins at 2am! If a person, who isn't tired, thought about the time placed in a day to those active jobs (4 of them), that's over a 12 hour day, everyday! Now don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say I'm "Superman" or nothing...I am bringing forth humbleness to you all in the "net" world and say that you might, like me, need to SLOW DOWN and enjoy the little things you're missing!

The Lord said, "Come to me all of you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest;" so why are we shying away from comfort? Do you feel, right now as you read this, so mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually drained from your day that you are leaving your passions, enjoyments and loved ones out? If you are, ponder this....when driving down the highway and you happen to look to the left or right, you travel approximately 500 + feet before you turn back to the front; missing enough space that you could have ran over something or swerved on the road! Each time you do this in your everyday steps, you might miss out on; a life-changing event in history, your spouse saying their potentially last words to you, your child's first steps or words, or even our Savior's return.

Take time....to hug your pillow more;
Take time....to say the words you mean to say;
Take time....to hold your loved ones longer;
Take time....to admire the beauty hidden around you;
Take time....to feel the breeze tickle your hair on your neck;
Take time....to just BE YOU. If you don't know you....FIND YOU!

Life is passing by us all too quickly and the appreciation of the GOOD in life is looked over while the negative has the main focus. Give it the boot and reclaim the good in your life God has given you and still is at this very moment. Writing this to share has blessed me today, I hope it does you as well.
