Be Grateful, Slow Down, Enjoy Life...

I own a clock just like the one in this picture. My stepfather gave it to me years ago. The battery died a while back and coincidentally it stopped right at what would be 5:00.

I left it because, “it is always 5:00 somewhere” a saying that makes me laugh and one I use on occasion. But really, it reminds me to live in the moment and “Enjoy Life NOW.”

Enjoyment of Life comes in many ways for me, being grateful is one of those, but specifically what comes to mind is, even with all the stress, unknowns, and sadness of the last year and half, I have felt grateful for the forced slow down.

It has made me Enjoy Life in a different way than I ever have, for one thing I learned to play tennis. Fitness has always been a big part of my life but learning to play tennis has changed my life in so many ways.

One thing Matt Iwersen’s says a lot on the court is a brilliant life lesson as well, “slow down, be patient and relax” Give it a try, it works both in Tennis and in Life!
