Everything about us is so fast and NOW that we get caught up in that with everything we do. It's not about being fast (or hard like a deluge) but being consistent like that steady, gentle shower.Shonell Baconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04827197354857197637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-77264692471857993872015-05-11T13:46:24.213-06:002015-05-11T13:46:24.213-06:00YES, you are so right, Diana!

Not a deluge that beats down so hard the water runs off the parched land rather than soaking into it, but a steady, gentle shower that moistens and penetrates the earth to promote growth -- rather like the 30-minute think time you suggest.

And if you're trying to be productive, turn off the alerts for emails. Remember the 'old' days when we got mail once a day. We survived. I also find that a nice walk outside with the dog does us both good.Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.com
