Relax

Slow down. Take a moment to yourself. Breathe in the fresh air of life and exhale the stress that accompanies being human. Look around at your surroundings. Enjoy the splendor of the world that you have been blessed to live in. Smell the crisp dawn (or twilight) air that envelopes all of your being. Gaze up at the heavens and let the clouds make pictures for you and the stars put the twinkle back in your eyes. Glance about you with the wonder of a child exploring the world for the first time. Dream of days past and things to come; of painted horses and fields of daises; of old west shootouts and damsels in distress; a knight in shining armor and sleeping among the clouds. It's a big world, and one day we will leave it all behind; therefore do not let the things of this world become burdensome upon your life.

Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind. ~C. S. Lewis
