Good word <strong>RUSH.</strong>

Lately, I have not been rushing. Taking a two week trip through England, Scotland, and Ireland has a way of slowing your pace.

I like the idea of not rushing, of accomplishing things on my to-do list without the sense of urgency and rushing.

That's why I'm posting later today than usual. I didn't RUSH to get a blog out there.

According to the definition I found on <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/rush?s=t" target="_blank">Dictionary.com</a>, it could be a wise thing not to RUSH. The first definition is: <em>to move, act, or progress with speed, impetuosity, or violence</em>

I certainly don't want to move with impetuosity or with violence. My daddy always said, "Haste makes waste. Slow down."

Okay, I know all of those words weren't original with Daddy, but the older I get the wiser his words become. There is no need to RUSH.

I love this quote from<a href="http://daves-words-of-wisdom.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank"> Dave's Words of Wisdom</a>:

Of course, there are times when it's necessary to RUSH. Times when we must proceed with speed, but for the remainder of today, unless you're in one of those situations, don't <strong>RUSH</strong>.

Slow down.

See if things don't get done anyway.
