Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring. ~Oscar Wilde

Relax, Slow Down
Today I realized something, do you ever think you are living your life in fast-forward speed? Chad and I were relaxing in the pool today and we have observed some strange people. Today I think we met the fastest person. She practically told everyone in the pool her life story in 30 seconds. She is from New York, hmm? Most people we have met are from up North. She is 38 years old but not married to the man she is vacationing with. She is "pretty much" an attorney, or so she thinks. She is in school to be a paralegal? Hmmm? She also wants the wrinkles removed from her cleavage, it makes her look "old." hmm? There are 4 pools at our hotel so Chad and I moved over with the "older" people because they were more our speed. Since Chad and I have been here we have realized that most people who live in Key West live relaxed, slow-moving kind of lives. They enjoy the dinner they are eating, or the drink they are drinking, they don't rush to your table with the check; they don't rush at all. This woman we met today was all about rushing. Soak up the moment you are living in right now, relax.
