1. Slow down; God is still in heaven. You are not responsible for doing it all yourself, right now.
2. Remember a happy, peaceful time in your past. Rest there. Each moment has richness that takes a lifetime to savor.
3. Set your own pace. When someone is pushing you, it's OK to tell them they're pushing.
4. Take nothing for granted: watch water flow, the corn grow, the leaves blow, your neighbor mow.
5. Taste your food. God gives it to delight as well as to nourish.

After that, she said, she met lots of new people, and all of them male, too.
"Only one thing," she added, "they always seemed to be in a hurry."
"Sometimes I joke about what I'd do if I had one day left to live. Eat junk, go crazy, etc.
Today it hit me: Jesus knew. And he washed feet."
