I just signed up for a new blog by my favorite writer/speaker Terry Hershey. He said he is blogging because it makes him "slow down." I like that! I was just wondering if I had enough time to download the morning paper and read it - when information on his blog came through. It nearly hit me in the face! Do I have enough time to download the paper? It is my time - yes I should have enough time - I will make time. Not in some manufacturing sense - but I will prioritize. I will get the necessary done and I will push off the unnecessary and slow down.
Today it should be easy. I am taking my son to a doctor (in another city 2 hours a way) to get a second opinion on his knee injury. Part of the process of making a decision to have surgery or not calls us to think long term. Rather than make a hasty decision that will satisfy today - we need to vision a future and what is best for the long haul. This will help me slow down. I will contemplate the choices and not be forced to make a snap decision.
Maybe thinking about other decisions in this way will help me slow down. I will try this - I will!
