Some people are sticklers for time.

Others of us prefer to chill.

If you find you’re never in a hurry,

you just may be living life in the -ish.

 

You see, when my friends and I make plans

to meet for a meal or a drink,

and we are coordinating the meetup we say,

“How about 11:00ish?”

 

It may mean 10:55, 11:05, 11:15,

11:30 or even 11:45.

It’s not about the arrival time

but about how we spend the time – together.

 

If someone runs “late”, it’s not a concern.

We just order a drink and bask in our surroundings.

And when they arrive, we are happy

and pick up from where we left off previously.

 

Living life in the -ish is a great place to be

the stress is low, the joy is high.

Just try it once, and you might like

living life in the -ish.

 

Stay groovy…

There’s a certain feeling you get early in the morning.

The kids are still asleep

and the birds are, too.

The house is still with quiet and peace.

 

You may hear a slight snore

or perhaps a sigh as one of the children turn over in their bed.

The gentle sound of coffee brewing indicated the day has begun.

The wonderful smell wafts past your nose.

 

Then the gentle sound of birds awake

just as the sun begins to rise.

They each have a particular song they sing.

You wonder if that song has significant meaning to another one of its species.

 

You sit down with your hot cup,

and you open the newspaper or boot up the computer to catch up on the news.

As you sip the coffee, the room gets more natural light from the rising sun.

The birds begin to converse more, and that brings a smile to your face.

 

But the largest smile is yet to come as you hear the children stir upstairs.

They skip down the steps two at time.

They’re hungry for breakfast

and ready to start the day.

 

The house begins to bustle.

The morning races ahead.

And only you are aware of the peaceful nook

that is present before the day officially begins.

 

Stay groovy…

The Calm

 

With the hustle and bustle of modern times,

we are continually bombarded by stimuli.

Where is the calm?

 

We need a daily calm to keep our life in balance,

keep us kind to others,

and keep us moving in a positive direction.

 

How do we achieve the calm?

You must find what works for you.

It may be yoga, running, meditation, or medication.

 

Don’t be afraid to try what you must,

because the calm is better than the frantic pace with which most humans race.

The calm…Seek it…

 

Stay groovy…
