Stop and take your time!

Pre-accident and for a bit post-accident I was a time cuncher! My entire family would agree with this statement.  But I've noticed now, lately I lose track of time and am way less rigid (except bedtime for the boys).
I was also so crunched in the amount of time I allowed to do things or enjoy things.  Since the accident, actually since I resigned, actually since "the Tuesday" I take time to enjoy things and don't rush.
For example today, I had said yesterday to Brayden that I would take him sledding, today came and there was nobody around for him to go with so I went because it was so nice.  Now before you all start wondering; I didn't sled, I thought there would be people up there sledding and maybe even someone he knew.  I was half right there were people there so I didn't feel as nervous when I then took the dogs for a walk.  It was beautiful out today, I was able to enjoy it, even sitting and just watching him.
So, I think what I really want to tell people that are like what I used to be like (sometimes still am)to stop, listen, even smell the roses. Not the dog poop that I had to clean up on my walk...jajajaja!
As I finish this, I think about all the mistakes I've made and how many of them are simply because I didn't take my time, the biggest mistake of all the accident.  I can't remember any of the circumstances except I've been told I was picking up Leah and I'm going to guess I was in a hurry and didn't take the time necessary to see the other car.  I've been told my line of vision was poor because of corn, I obviously didn't take the time to look better and pulled out! Yes, I understand it was an accident but I know myself and I ask myself "why didn't I take the time to look well?"
Again TAKE YOUR TIME!! There is nothing that can't wait that won't be done better if you take your time, I lost 3 years of my life because I was in a hurry!
