So true,Ev.In my elderly Dad's last few years, his only complaint was:"everyone talks too fast!" to which I would gently reply: "I think maybe you're not listening as quickly as you used to". Then we'd both chuckle.But this DID teach me that there are situations when I need to think about speaking slowly.
I also think we ought to LOOK more slowly. As I get older, it seems to me that it's necessary to take more time to look and focus to really see. Thankfully, I have more time to look now, and more time to appreciate what I see. Your daily comments and photos are a real inspiration Ev. Hugs, Trish
