Do The Slow Dance

Posted on the 12 July 2014 by Vidyasury @vidyasury

Today, let’s just breathe. Sometimes, it is nice to just…

slow down

close your eyes

relax

let peace flow through your body

smell the flowers

put your feet up

gaze out of the window

walk in your garden

play with your pet

laugh with your family

enjoy a cup of coffee with your friend

call that cousin you’ve been meaning to talk to

go for a walk

watch the sun rise

watch the sun set

feel the warmth of the sun

be grateful

forgive someone even if they’re not sorry

hug someone

hug yourself

remember a happy moment

give something

stretch

love

read that book

breathe

smile

And here is the perfect poem to read and enjoy…

Slow Dance

by David L Weatherford
Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round,
or listened to rain slapping the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight,
or gazed at the sun fading into the night?

You better slow down, don’t dance so fast,
time is short, the music won’t last.

Do you run through each day on the fly,
when you ask “How are you?”, do you hear the reply?

When the day is done, do you lie in your bed,
with the next hundred chores running through your head?

You better slow down, don’t dance so fast,
time is short, the music won’t last.

Ever told your child, we’ll do it tomorrow,
and in your haste, not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch, let a friendship die,
’cause you never had time to call and say hi?

You better slow down, don’t dance so fast,
time is short, the music won’t last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere,
you miss half the fun of getting there.

When you worry and hurry through your day,
it’s like an unopened gift thrown away.

Life isn’t a race, so take it slower,
hear the music before your song is over.

Yes, breathe.

And smile. Did you?
