  You are not responsible for doing
  it all yourself, right now.
  Remember a happy, peaceful time in your past.
  Rest there. Each moment has richness
  that takes a lifetime to savor.
  Set your own pace.
  When someone is pushing you,
  it’s OK to tell them they’re pushing.

  
  

  
  Take nothing for granted:
  watch water flow, the corn grow,
  the leaves blow, your neighbor mow.
  Taste your food.
  God gives it to delight as well as to nourish.
  Notice the sun and the moon as they rise and set.
  They are remarkable for their steady pattern
  of movement, not their speed.
  

  
  

  Create a place in your home…
  at your work…in your heart…
  where you can go for quiet and recollection.
  You deserve it.
  Allow yourself time to be lazy and unproductive.
  Rest isn’t luxury; it’s a necessity.
  Listen to the wind blow.
  It carries a message of yesterday, tomorrow
   and now. NOW counts.

  
  

   

  
  

  Count your friends.
  If you have one, you are lucky.
  If you have more, you are blessed.
  Bless them in return.
  Count your blessings – one at a time and slowly.
