BFTP: Pause a moment

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 in the newspaper
• Take a walk
• Look at old pictures of your kids
• Park in space farthest from the entrance
• Stop at the DairyQueen
• Plan your dream vacation
• Give somebody else time to figure it out for themselves
• Call your mom
• Kiss your grandchild on the top of his head and find her a cookie
• 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

These past 12 months have been especially stressful for many, many people in ways this old retired guy can't even imagine. But one thing I have learned perhaps worth passing on, If you get to the big stuff five minutes later, it won't make any difference in the long run.
