Driving fast down time’s hectic road
Passing new sign’s life-changing mode
Hey busy people, “What’s your rush?”
Best to paint life with brand new brush
Slow self down, before passing by
More to life than hello and bye
Coffee’s better with second cup
Take time to really size life up
Spend precious moments, call your friend
Each minute pays big dividends
Look around, lend others your hand
Playing music on life’s bandstand
Time spent with young children at play
Ageless, feeling younger each day
Neighborhood walk with man’s best friend
Rounding out life’s perfect weekend
Share love with your special someone
Lighting rainbows with rising sun
Cruisin’ along life’s peaceful street
No rush now, enjoying each treat
Big Sky Buckeye 
I am in no rush
Everyday there is a new painting
Painted by a new Brush 😊💖
Beautiful poem Richard

Thanks Susan! I think I learned about remaining calm when driving in rush hour traffic here in Columbus. It was quite a switch from Montana.

Good Tuesday morning to you, {{{Richard}}} – May it be filled with tranquility, health, and blessings. I stopped and let these lines sink in: “Spend precious moments, call your friend/Each minute pays big dividends,” and then I did that yesterday. Today I’ll follow up on that one and this one, too: “Share love with your special someone,” What a privilege, huh? ❤ ❤
