EVERY RED LIGHT

Do you ever have days like this???? You are on your way home, or to work, or to pick up a friend.... you might even be running late and you just happen to hit EVERY SINGLE RED LIGHT?!!

This was me today, going to and coming home from Dallas Road this afternoon. Every single one....and there are a lot between my house and Dallas Road.  :)

My immediate thought was "EFF THIS" and then I quickly switched my thought path to " What purpose does this have?"
And what I quickly realized it was the universe showing me the importance of just slowing down in life and enjoying the moment. I am reminded of this often in different ways, but this one seemed so clear.

When I DID slow down and began to enjoy the red light stops, I heard birds, music, people talking and laughing, I gave the dogs a scratch and snuggle, I sipped my iced coffee, and I was able to SEE the city. After all...... we Do live in the most beautiful city in BC.... or is that CANADA???

Do you feel like you race through the days from one chore to the next. Work, Kids, Gym, Errands, Sports, Groceries etc..... there is always something.

  Have you seen that commercial for ICBC, slow down to see more of the road?????

It also applies here, and in so many other aspects of day to day life. We are a civilization of go go go, how many things can i possibly do at once.

Here's a challenge for you.....and I will do it with you.
Next time you are out with a friend for coffee or lunch or dinner....DON'T take your phone, and don't take your eyes off the other party.... QUIT multi tasking and enjoy your moments.

Think we can do it????

I DO:)
