This is a thought provoking tidbit that I like to read to our Project Motivate attendees. As we begin our new season, let us keep ourselves "grounded' as to what is most important. The author is unknown. Enjoy-Rhee

Don't Dance Too Fast

Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round,

Or listened to the rain slapping the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight,

Or gazed at the sun fading in the night?

You better slow down,

Don’t dance so fast,

Time is short,

The music won’t last.

Do you go through each day on the fly?

When you ask, “How are you?”

Do you hear a 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,

Well do it tomorrow,

And in your haste,

Not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch,

Let a good 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 is not a race,

Take it slower,

Hear the music,

Before the song is over.
