Description

One of life's little pleasures. Sipping wine.
Or listening to music. Or taking a walk. Or lunch with a friend.
There are so many of them. Don't underestimate their importance.
Don't let the use of the word "little" diminish the importance in all of our lives to take that moment, to take LOTS of moments, to savor the world around us.
I have been guilty of being impatient. I guess we all have. But life is too short. You really can't make time move any slower so you just have to slow down.
Why do we have to go so fast anyway?
I recently had a flat tire. Bummer, right? Well, yeah. It was. But I wanted to tell you about the time sitting in the waiting room while my tire was being fixed. I had no choice but to just stop. To sit. To browse through a magazine. To look out the window.
I discovered that anyplace can be an oasis from the rat race. Even a tire shop.
I guess at 67 years old I'm still learning.
I'm learning to stop. To breathe. To smell the roses.
And, yes, to sip the wine.
This is a digital painting created using Procreate with the turpentine brush.
