I did something this past weekend I seldom do - NOTHING!  Deb asked me where I wanted to eat Saturday night for my birthday?  Home was the answer.  I had been out of the house 20 some straight nights.  I wanted to just stay home and do nothing.  After working out Saturday morning I watched Clemson play (and kick butt I might add) went to Jacob's game and then grilled some ribs while watching USC play LSU.  I took a couple of naps and didn't feel a bit guilty about it.  Sunday afternoon I did the exact same thing.  Watched football and cat napped.  Didn't realize just how tired I was.

Some times we need to simplify our lives.

S - Slow down
I - Imagine doing less
M - Make time for loved ones
P - Practice patience
L - Learn to gently say no
I - Increase your quiet time
F - Follow your heart
Y - Yield to life, yield to peace, yield to joy

I was reading another pastor's blog and saw this acrostic.  Couldn't help but pass it along.  All of us need to slow down and enjoy life.  It is passing us by every day.
