Live, Love Life and Dream

Why live life in the fast lane
watching life pass you by?
Why make complicated problems?
Slow down and SIMPLIFY

If you go out, in a mood,
everyone will run a mile
So if you want to enjoy your day
All you need to do is SMILE

Put a skip into your step
Maybe add a little wriggle
Tell a joke or two and
enjoy a LAUGH and a GIGGLE

Do you want to live in a nightmare
Where you only shout and scream?
You make your life what it is
Go ahead and follow your DREAM

    I try to slow down. I saw that slung awhile back, looking like he was doing warp 10. I shouted out: “Hey, slow down. You’ll still make it.” But it was too late he had already gone out of sight. Lovely collaboration there you two. Great work.

  • RebeccaWeston replied

    Slowing down is hard but for many people smiling seems to be even more difficult, yet it costs nothing to smile, does it ? Thanks JR – lots of love XX

    So well written & beautifully expressed.
    I tell myself I have no where to go and all day long to get there!
    Or that I have nothing to do and all day long to do it!
    Still I feel anxious and hurried and stressed.
    My life is about as SIMPLIFIED as life can get, well it was, until I joined RB!!
    I’m SMILING everyone!

  • RebeccaWeston replied

    Thank you so much – yes you are right about RB. I sometimes wonder what I used to do before I joined it !!!........no, I remember now…I ate and slept and cleaned house!!!! haha XX
