Ready, Set, Monday. ADOPT MORE...Pauses

Driving to an outing the other evening, a couple of friends and I chatted about all the places we've visited and some places where we wouldn't mind relocating. Of course, the conversation stirred up obvious pros and cons of Michigan and maybe even some within the United States in general. People in America tend to rush, rush, rush with minimal room for a much needed pause.

We rush to work, to rush to a meeting, to rush for a quick cup of coffee, to rush to the bathroom, to rush to squeeze in 50 task items before we rush to our car, to rush to the grocery store, to rush to make dinner, to rush to get the kids in bed, to rush to bed ourselves so that we may wake up and start an entirely new series of rushes or sadly repeat the ones from the day before.

I want a pause. For me. And for you. A sincere, relaxed pause that will refresh the soul, inspire a belly-laugh, engage new conversation or delight your senses in a whole new meaningful way. Pause now.

Happy Monday!
