Constant State of Motion

I doubt that I'm the only person experiencing a purpetual advancing of my days. Mistakenly I say things like "when things slow down this summer," only to find time skips ahead and I'm left trying to catch up as I get slammed with the onslaught of stores full of holiday decorations months before the season of the aforementioned holiday is actually celebrated.

Why do we need to shop for atumnal decor when its 90 degrees and humid? When did the stores all get together and decide to stock both Halloween and Christmas decorations?

• I have tried to take things slow.
• I have tried to savor each moment.
• I have tried to acknowledge a bright new day.
• Occasionally I might get caught up in the rush of scheduling, calenders, and time management.

My guilty conscious reared its ugly head and implored me to confess. Truth be told, more than occasionally I get caught up in the rush of everyday life.

We have abounding access to immediate gratification. High speed internet, smartphones, texting, instant play movies, web cam chatting, all are fixtures in our modern life.

Has all this convenience developed a sense of entitlement? We are important and our needs should be met in the shortest timeframe possible?

So please tell me, how do you keep from getting caught in the rush of everyday life?
