Kristy was not one to send sentimental emails, or to forward chain letters. But she surprised me when she sent me this and said, "hi mom, read this, it is sentimental, but I think it's worth the time".
Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round or listened to the rain slapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight or gazed at the sun into the fading 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'd 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 good friendship die cause you never had time to call and say,'Hi'? You'd 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 is like an unopened gift....thrown away. Life is not a race. Do take it slower. Hear the music before the song is over.
(P.S. To Clas from Karen: Thank you!)
Today's workout: 70 minutes cross training on bike followed by stretching (Yoga).
I'm not a runner - just a mom trying to deal with the death of her daughter. Kristy was a multi-talented woman and a professional athlete. Running helps me to feel her presence. And it offers a little peace. - Kristy's mom
