Pause a moment - updated

Pause for a moment...

  • Put some air in your tires
  • Check your map
  • Play a game that your kids play
  • Accept thanks for something without over analyzing
  • Read the funnies
  • Walk the dog a second time
  • Look at old pictures of your family
  • Park in a space farthest from the entrance
  • Plan your dream vacation
  • Give somebody time to figure it out for themselves
  • Call your mom
  • Call a friend you've not talked to for a long time
  • Kiss your grandchild on the top of his head and find her a cookie
  • Eat a cookie yourself
  • Wear your oldest sweatshirt
  • Have two glasses of wine instead of just one
  • Read an old-favorite book
  • Take out the earbuds and enjoy the birds
  • Catch your breath

Here's the thing. If you get to the big stuff five minutes later, it won't make a big difference in the long run.
