What's the Rush?

Good morning America,

How are you on this fine morning? Those who know me know that I can't stand rushing. If there was one good thing about the show, Farscape, it might have been Zhaan's mantra of "all good things come with time and patience." There's something to be said about the wise words of a bald and blue alien, I think. Do you find yourself rushing and always on the move? 

Listen, I'm not the kind of guy that is going to tell you to "wake up and smell the roses," but sometimes we get so caught up in everything that maybe we could use a break that consists of more than a Kit-Kat bar.

Today, I found myself stuck in traffic and the impending build-up of road rage was right around the corner. It was pouring out and the rain was pounding around me as I sat in my car waiting for some jackass to figure out where "drive" is on his automatic transition.

Well, with nowhere to go, it gave me a chance to check things out and see that apparently Spring is here. I'm not a big nature guy, but it felt nice to just watch the rain come down for a bit.

Would you do me a small favor? Today, at some point, just take a moment and pause your day. Join me in taking in your world. You don't need a window or rain, but just look around. What do you see? Is it a beautiful apartment or home? Are you looking at someone special? Our journey has many destinations, but getting there isn't the only thing that matters. Enjoy the ride when you can. Have a wonderful day.

  1. An excellent reminder to take a breath, especially when on the brink of road rage.
