To Myself

I am slowing.
Finding the space between the ought’s and the should’s.
Remembering not to look forward or back but now.
I am slowing.
Sharing the morning with my thoughts.
Breathing in ways that make me stop.
I am slowing.
Creating visual reminders of time and thoughts.
Connecting with those who feed not steal.
I am slowing.
(from Bud’s writing prompt)

In the end, what we pay the most attention to defines us. How you choose to spend the irreplaceable hours of your life literally transforms you.
